Also, in your first post, you mention getting scholarships. Are you currently attending college?
@Madison85 - In some countries the EducationUSA office operates with the name Fulbright. That would be the correct place for an international student to get accurate, unbiased information about higher education opportunities here. The counselors there know which colleges and universities students from the OP’s country with stats like the OP’s have been admitted to in recent years, and whether or not those students received any financial aid.
@happymomof1 thank you. It seems this particular office is unfamiliar with the very limited financial aid at the two colleges suggested to the OP. And especially the NYU requirement to have th full cost of attendance for four years at the ready when completing the certification of finances.
To the OP…I’m still unclear…you mention receiving scholarships up until this year. What were those for?
High School tuition. The Italian High School in Peru is private so they gave me scholarships for my good grades.
