| Hey,
I just wanna let know that UPEI www.upei.ca is a good school with good professors located in Canada plus it's not THAT expensive and offers some scholarships to international students. I am finishing my freshman year and I am quite pleased. Check it out and feel free to contact me if you want more details! | |

| hi, before i started my admission process, i sought help from the representative of educationUSA here in the philippines, she was relatively able to help and i felt really safe that someone who knew the ropes was willing to help me. but after the first meeting, i started e-mailing her, she never replied. not to one single e-mail that i sent. in hte end, i had to do it with out her, so i was kinda disappointed.
im not saying educationUSA is bad, im just sharing an experience in hopes that none of you who are about to go through admissions process experience it. | |

| No, no. I've met EducationUSA advisors from all over the world - Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Malawi, Bulgaria, Mongolia, Brazil...and they all seemed to be hardworking, dedicated and nice people with various success stories. Of course, in many countries, the story is not the same.
In Nigeria, I never visited educationUSA - too far away from home, too expensive, and elitist. There are SO many other places to get advice from. And mostly, people did everything on their own...but in Zimbabwe, the advisor there is AMAZING. | |

| Do you know how much O and A level results count for admission?(I got 8 and 4 A's respectively, plus a distinction).
Except college, can there be any other source of aid e.g.federal?
what's better need-based or need-blind aid?
which colleges give full scholarships? | |

| thanks
dear Carolyn,
thank you for your support for international students. I am from Colombia, and nobody in the US knows where that is. I am really concerned about this issue - I am afraid colleges won't accept me. Do you think you can provide me with supoport on this issue? I am just a sophomeore, but I am worried about my future.

| Hello, one very important for me question. I submited common application to the institutions i wanted, but the school forms and the financial aid documents i send by snail mail, i am sure will be late.
I posted them several days before the deadline but, as i am from Bulgaria, Europe, i am sure thew will arrive in the US colleges after the regular deadline.
Here is an example of what i am asking: I apply to a college with a regular deadline on 1st January. I send my documents on 23rd december /the postmark verify that/ , but they reach the college on the 10th January!
So , will the college consider my application and documentation . Had i kept the deadline???
Please, if someone can explain to me, because i can't find the answer nowhere. | |

| goldminer, as long as the common application is submitted by the specified deadline, schools will not mind receiving the rest of your application package after that date.
If you push the "submit" button and have confirmation that your application has been submitted successfully, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. | |
