<p>Thanks Jamimom, Momrath, Jmmom, Damaris, KrazyKow and Reidm. </p>
<p>A private counselor sounds great. That will help with a lot of things.</p>
<p>I’ve been searching for more colleges and I came up with U-Michigan-Ann Arbor, U-Wisconsin-Madison, USC, Rice, Amherst, Pomona and Williams. According to the link Overseas gave me LAC’s are generous with the money they give, so it’d be great.
About visiting colleges, I haven’t visited any. I had in mind to visit the colleges I get accepted to and decide which to go to as to save extra costs. </p>
<p>BTW, as I’ve said before, in Egypt it’s only 11 years of school, so I’m a Junior, not a sophomore. I’ve been searching for a summer job during this summer, the jobs available are mostly at magazines, I think It’d be impressive and I also like writing. I could also check out the posts at the embassy for activities.</p>
<p>Thank you for the amazing advice!</p>
