FINANCIAL AID PROBLEM, PLEASE HELP?

Can please help and guide an International Student like me?

• I'm entering 20 next month, and I'm getting pretty worried about my situation. I've been a CS student for 3 years, then I got to know that my college is ineligible and uncredited. even I'm living somewhere distant in an ineligible country across the oceans. I'm Studying for the TOFEL as I'm an international student and prepairing for the GED, to acquire a highschool diploma with the highest marks (as my diploma sucks as studing is based on just memorizing, which I couldn't do ) and I think I'll do the SAT, and see whether I could pass with flying colors. All I'm doing is for the sake of US colleges, but I don't know how much the minimum my score should be to have a scholarship, and I don't know if they can give me a paper saying "you've been approved for our scholarship program" or something like that I can show it as an evidence at the US embussy (as my F1 student form visa must be approved ) My eyes are for the top 10 US colleges such as Harvard, Yale,Massachusets technology, Stanford, pensilvania,even California Technology. I categorised my interests in ascending way that can show you what I care for most So I'm asking you, if I send my TOFEL, GED, and SAT scores, does any of the colleges I've addressed send me a letter with the approval of the financal aid helps me with my college years That I need it as HELL as an evidence for approval for the US Embussy? Guys, the thing is I nor my family can pay for my tuition, so that I'm dying for such financial aid from any top college, In otherwords, a piece of paper saying I'm accepted and I can study for free. Note 1: I'll study CS, that major really pays off pretty good! Besides I'm taking now CEH and LPT certificates, so I can find job for me if there's any money shortage. Note 2 : other evidences such as blood test, is already here with me, even my passport has been renewed lately, so no other conflicts may interfere with my only ONE problem. Note 3 : 3/4 of my family are in the USA , none of them are willing to help, so I'm on my own, but can't move a single mucsle without a help, maybe a help from you may guide me to the land of dreams Does my family there affect negatively or positively? Note 4 : I too am willing to work on-campus if it meant paying for my tuition myself and I'm willing to take the INS approval a year after being on US soil, and ask to work a job off campus. also I'm willing to take the us military service, as it's a service from me to the US, a way for bodybuilding, and a way to cut off 2 years from my netrulaization time. Note 5 : if you're American and willing to help me as being accepted in your family (if a house for me is needed for the US Embussy approval) so, Sir or Madame, I'm willing to help you in anything I could; farming, cooking, cleaning, even I can pay your expenses If I got much money left from my work on or off campus. I'll sacrifice my heart for you, as you'll be my gaurdian, my new dad or mom, who accepted me in his house, not like my extended family who just forgot who I really am. if you like, contact me on my email : [email protected] or the other one: [email protected] choose the email that you like ^_^ Please don't consider I'm pity, it's just the tears, the heartache, and fear from for not being able to study there.In addition, errands and chores I do are a way to show love to the strangers who accepted me at their home. If you're reading this and can't help, think about a nighbour that needs help, maybe I can give a hand. In this way, he/she helps me, and I too help in return, so I won't feel guilty and feel I'm just an extra weight at home. Thanks all for listening to my words, I'll be waiting for any answer whether it's about the finaincal aid and scholarship, Clearing the conflict about the US Embussy admision problem, or even critics about living with your family (whether if it's good or bad, it's ok, I've writting this question, and I can handle anything you say to me).

• Answer:

  You are not getting into Yale or Harvard or any ivy league school. They do not offer academic scholarships. Yale gets well over 20,000 applications and enrolls about 2000 new freshman. Only a handful of those are going to be international students. You would need SAT subject scores of 700 on math, CR and writing, just to have a chance of getting in. Same with Stanford, and Cal Tech. You are reaching way, way too high. These schools are going to cost you about $50,000 per year. I don't believe any ivy league school or any school you mentioned accepts a GED. You must check on each school's web site to see if they do. There is very little financial aid or scholarships available to international students from US schools You need to apply, be accepted, prove you can pay, then apply for a student visa. You can only work on campus with a student visa. Campus jobs go fast, all students want them. Don't expect to be paid over $10 an hour for a campus job. You can not join the US military- you are not an US citizen. You can not be in the military and go to college. Conflicting schedules I am sorry to say, you are dreaming if you think you can go to college in the US for free. Not going to happen. Most scholarships are not for a full ride, even for US students. You do not live with an US family for college. You would live on campus in a dorm. You can go on any US school's web site to see requirements for international students. how to apply and an online application tuition and room and board costs scholarships available and their requirements IF a GED is accepted You can email the admissions office with any questions. www.collegeboard.org for the SAT-which you will need to take www.a2zcolleges.com click on majors at the top, then a state http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges
