In-country sources of information

In most countries there is a bi-national center supported in part by US funds where you can get assistance in your search for language programs, undergraduate programs, postgraduate programs, exchange programs, etc. in the US. This is a good place to start because the counselors are up-to-date on any country-specific issues.

For example, in Venezuela, the center is the AVAA (www.avaa.org) and in Colombia it is the Colombian American Center (http://www.colomboamericano.org/info_english.htm)

To find the center in your country try googling "bi-national center Colombia" replacing Colombia with the name of your country.

Amideast is the organization serving North Africa and the Middle East:

Wishing you all the best!

400+ is really, really low... The rest depends on how great your essays, GPA, teacher recs, and ECs are. Oh even lower chance if you ask for financial aid.

You have to be more specific with your stats if you want us to help you... (but this isn't the correct thread either)

My Unique Situation

Hi, I have a unique situation. I currently live in the Caribbean, but I am an American national. Am I considered an International student or not? The reason for asking is because my parents no longer live in the US, so I need to know if I can fill out the FASFA form...Help!

da_mad_cow: by your comment, I assume you received 800 on Math, and 390 on CR. I don't think I've ever seen such a spread.

Would suggest you study for the CR section and retake the SAT. If you do not, the admissions officer will assume you do not know enough english to succeed in a U.S. college.
