What should I do if most target and semi-target universities don't give financial aid to international students and I can't afford $70k a year?

A list I made of which target and semi-target universities offer aid to intl. As you can see basically only IVY and few others do so, but their IVY's acceptance rate is 5% and I can't apply to state schools, which would be easier to get into considering the fact that they have 10-40% acceptance rate.
