As an International Student you are not eligible for Financial Aid in most colleges.

You need to send final Marksheet for Classes 9/10/11 and later Half-Yearly exams Marksheet for Class 12 as and when it is ready.

These Report cards should also reflect your performance vs. The rest of your class. So it should have either a class rank or percentile to make it easy for adcoms to assess your academic performance.

Also pardon me for saying so, please start writing whole words and sentences, it will not only portray you as an intelligent person but also serve as a practice to be a better writer.

It's upto you. Honestly, it doesn't matter at all. Some people find it easier to apply online, while some do so with paper app..

My assumption, most would apply through the online version, since we belong to a nation of tech savvy people, at least, those of us are keen on studying abroad.

Mail them by post just like the transcripts. In fact the transcripts, LoRs etc. should all be sent as one package. Not having a CEEB code is not an issue.

I have a concern. I'm a US citizen who's done all my schooling in the US. Just came to Hyderabad to do my BE in CSE. I have an American citizenship and also proof of residence. Am I considered an international student? Also how do I got about the procedure of applying, seems like there are numerous aspects that are clashing.

Inayath, you should be considered an American student since you are a US Student.
You might want to talk to specific schools about your situation.

Also, just curious, why did you choose to do your undergrad in India?

Quite frankly doing undergrad in India was way cheaper, less tedious, and so much more easy than compared to America.
