I dont have budget. My future dont have a price. I want to success my Student life.
If I paid the scolarity I have more chance to access in this universities or no ?
I’m International students too. I think the best way of finding out stuff is calling the admission office directly. They will give you the most accurate info
@chiz0921, calling the admissions office for information that is available online is not a good plan. If you want to know about financial aid or costs, every college and university has that information on their website. For example, you can find the info for financial aid for international students at Stanford [url=<a href=“http://financialaid.stanford.edu/undergrad/how/international.html%5Dhere%5B/url”>http://financialaid.stanford.edu/undergrad/how/international.html]here[/url] and info on costs [url=<a href=“http://exploredegrees.stanford.edu/tuitionfeesandhousing/%5Dhere%5B/url”>http://exploredegrees.stanford.edu/tuitionfeesandhousing/]here[/url].
@juju34000, being full pay will not change the likelihood of admission at Stanford.
You need to be realistic: last year 42,497 students applied to Stanford. Just 2,140 were admitted and only 177 were international students. The average school marks of the admitted students was just shy of perfect (3.95/4.0). Your SAT score is, as you say, a nice score- but for Stanford it puts you in the bottom 20% of the admitted students- and I would bet that those students have other strong things to recommend them.
is this chic from EI?

@juju34000 :
Please answer the questions listed in #16.
Those are needed to help you.
Even if you consider that you can’t put a price on your future, you must have a yearly budget before any loan. How much have your parents offered or how much can they afford? If you don’t know, ask.
(A French bank bank won’t loan you more than $5,000 - and that may be for all 4 years.)
Your sat score is really good, especially for French students who typically do really horribly on standardized and multiple choice tests.
But it does not even qualify you for a full tuition award at UAlabama - although it does qualify you for a partial tuition award and automatic admission to the honors college.
So, if your record is such that you have a shot at Stanford or Amherst (it’d mean something like mention tres bien, plus national distinction in something from sports to chess to music…) you can hope for financial aid at a meet-need college, or merit aid at an honors college. You must take costs into account.
If you have blips in your school record between 3e and Terminale, you may want to consider universities ranked 75-125, especially LACs and directionals, plus honors colleges and their scholarships,( except the deadline is tomorrow so hurry).
@MYOS1634 thank you again for your interest.
I read carefuly your post.
I would like to contact an bank (if an universities accept me) and paid the scolarity. My father manage one bank in South of France maybe it’s more easy…
I explain my problem:
During my high School a didn’t have a greats transcripts but since 2 years (I make a “BTS” in science computing and I have 16/20 in France or A un US system and I would like to Know if I’m obliged to send my transcripts in Stanford during my High School. If I send just my transcrits of the BTS is suffisant ?
I have a great SAT and TOEFL.
Where I have more luck to be admitted ?
I would like to postulated At UPenn, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Duke And Colombia.
You will not get a loan for a quarter million dollars even if your father manages a bank.
School fees are paid through 1° parents’ income 2° parents’ savings 3° student’s work and savings; you can earn scholarships depending on your parents’ income and/or depending on your test scores and accomplishments.
So, ask your parents how much they can afford per year.
A 16 for your BTS is impressive, but what “mention” did you get for your bac and what “série”?
I don’t know if universities would consider you a transfer. If you were a transfer, you wouldn’t need to give your high school transcripts to some colleges, especially state flagships. However for sure you wouldn’t receive any financial aid.
I believe that USC and Vanderbilt are hospitable to international, full pay transfers.
Princeton doesn’t take transfers (they started this year for the first time only, and only community college students who went through CC for financial reasons, not because they goofed off in high school).
Stanford takes California Community College students as well as peer-school transfers, and very few of them. Your odds from a BTS - and it’s not certain they’ll recognize that for a transfer - are virtually nil.
Transfers are admitted to spots that freshmen left if they decided to transfer to another school. Because those are worldclass universities, almost no one who is admitted leaves, hence, very very few spots for transfers from elsewhere.
If you apply as a freshman, you need to provide your transcripts from 9th grade on (Troisième, Seconde, Première, Terminale + BTS).
OP, you have been told multiple times in this thread you must send your high school transcript, as well as your BTS transcript. Reread post #18. Closing thread.
