How exactly do you study abroad in Australia if you are from the USA?

How to study abroad (USA, Australia....)?

• So, i'm interested in studying abroad (I'm thinking of USA or Australia). But the thing is, everyone here (In Europe - slovenia) keeps saying me that i should consider more ''real'' options or something like that. But the thing is i really really want to study abroad. I don't like my country and there aren't even enough opportunities for a jobs an things like that. And also i love adventures, learning different cultures, meeting new people. And then there's a problem. It's not that we're rich or anything and If i wanted to go abroad i would probably need a lot of money and stuff. Everyone keeps saying , oh keep dreaming, oh come on come to your senses etc. The truth is i can't aaffordstudying abroad. I know there are sscholarshipsand stuff but nobody here tells me anything specific. So I am kind of lost. Nobody believes that i really want to do that. I know that's not simple and all but I am ssuccessfulstudent, I have high grades( most of them A-s)... So my question is, what are my cchances what should i do, where to go first. And if it helps, I'm sophomore at high school, well in 2 months I will be junior. I know I'm still young but I don't want to blew my chances . if I have any. So can you please help me ? :)

• Answer:

  For United States- 1.You will need to give the SAT By College Board(undergraduate).For a top university (and a scholarship) you need to ace these exams if u r thinking for a scholarship.Scholarships are very hard to get and never in any way cover the whole fees.Your scholarship = College Fees - EFC(Expected Family Contribution).If you cant afford to pay at all you cannot go there.Getting good marks on the SAT's is again very tough and a lot of hard work.There are loads of books available in the market to help you. 2.Fees-Without scholarships the fees for a good university including hostel is a MINIMUM of $45,000 an year,And the approximate investment for four year becomes easily around $160,000 to $200,000(Rs.1 Crore).School grades of Junior and sophomore years are to be filled in college application.You can get information about SAT,Colleges,Fees and everything at - sat.collegeboard.org.. Research it if u want to get anything. 3.You will also need to demonstrate proficiency in English and for that u will need to give the toefl test.It is easier than SAT but requires you to Speak,Listen,Read and write all. ets.org/toefl P.S-Giving these tests itself is very expensive and u will have to give them atleast twice each!to get a good score.{SAT-$99 Toefl-$140} Even filling up college application forms is expensive it ranges from $70 to $110 per application.You can learn all this on the College Board website.
