A boyfriend/ international help!

<p>Hi i just need a little help. i live in america but my boyfriend lives all the way in europe. we are going to be sophomores and idk if he’d come back. :frowning: i wish we could go to the same college preferrably an ivy league but what “things” would he need to do in order to get in? or… is it going to be very very hard? Are there any SAT centers in Moscow?
it’ll be great if you could give a little advice. Thanks :P</p>

<p>check the college board for high schools/ sat centers in europe country by country. there’re sat centers in turkey, so probably there’re some in russia as well. and if he finds a college counselor, or contacts an american school, and has good average etc., you two can make it to a good schools i guess.</p>

<p>that’s a good idea thanks kamala 89 :stuck_out_tongue: i’m still a little… worried though, i mean cuz of the tinnny bit of language problem.</p>

<p>It’s nice to think about all of this, but mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for a breakup before the end of high school. I hate to be pessimistic but the likelihood of that happening is high, especially given the distance that separates you. As far as “getting in,” the advice you will find in other parts of this forum are applicable.</p>

<p>don’t be too pessimistic. i think if he’s your boyfriend, then he should be able to communicate reaaaallly well in english =)
and plus, everyone has to study for the sats… annd most colleges ask for toefl for international students</p>

<p>I know that Russia does offer SAT testing. Maybe the Anglo-American School of Moscow offers it. As an international student, he will have much more competition, since the acceptance rate for international students at Ivy Leagues are considerably small, but if he is determined to study here in the states, then I’d go for it. :)</p>

<p>He should take the TOEFL too.</p>

<p>um… since you’re only going to be sophmores, right ? i think you should just wait and see what happens, because most longdistance (especially REALLY long distance) HS relationships don’t really last. plus it’d be kind of stupid to go to the same college just because your bf is going there</p>

<p>yeah, thinking about going to an ivy league college together while you two are hs sophomores is way too ambitious. There is a way to let colleges know to “take us as all or nothing” on an application as a couple, I’ve heard of it, but I don’t recommend it. It’s too unreliable and probably wouldn’t have as good results as if two people applied individually. Also, knowing how selective some colleges are, it’d be tricky.</p>

<p>aye… i’ll go along with the crowd =(</p>

<p>It’s not going to work out, is it?</p>

<p>ehh it might;; you know what!? get married after high school, he’ll come here, you guys can both go to college, and it will be just dandyyy. haha i fell in love with a guy in europe this past summer (im going to be a junior) so i planned it out but then i fell out of love in a few weeks so ehhh. its a good idea though. :]]</p>

<p>it’s not going to work out. break up with him.</p>

<p>This thread reminds me of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants where Alexis Bledel had a love affair with that guy she met at the harbor.</p>

<p>lol… thats funny that you said gianscloere1…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>what exactly is the connection?</p>

<p>What I’m about to say does not necessarily apply to the OP (whose relationship I know little to nothing about).</p>

<p>Alexis Bledel was American. The guy she met was Greek (as in he lived in Greece, not just Greek in origin). They “fell in love.” It was a summer fling, minus the sex. The difference is that they broke up before the summer ended, but their relationship is representative of the idea of “falling in love” with someone foreign.</p>

<p>ah, i see. okay</p>

<p>he’s not a “foreigner”…
he just doesn’t live around thats all.
but if he did you wouldn’t tell that he’s a foreigner.</p>

<p>=(</p>

<p>I know this sounds really mean, but-
Relationship probably won’t last.
First, it’s long distance. Those almost always never ever work out.
Second, you’re only sophomores. Come on.
And third, you shouldn’t choose a college just because you guys want to go together. Especially Ivy League.</p>

<p>What if you guys were just friends? And if you happened to go to college eventually in the same area, pick up the relationship again?</p>
