International Student Applying for Financial Aid

I’ve written responses to international students needing financial aid. You might want to look up those posts. You have a huge gap in your list of schools if you really want to study in the US and want the chance to do so

You researched each college a lot do that you know why each college is what YOU want. But you have not been very diligent in figuring out what the colleges want. Unfortunately you are NOT what they want. It’s a difficult enough issue that they get more students than they can take so that they have to turn down so many kids. They also have little or no merit money, most all are not need blind for international students and do not guarantee to fund them if accepted even if they do so for US students. That is a very big indicator that you are on the bottom of their lists.

It’s fine to give this a try. But you are literally buying lottery tickets and with that list a lot of expensive lottery tickets in just applying. If you are serious about wanting to study in the US, you have the wrong list of colleges. The research should have been on the very rare birds of schools that are not easy to list. The ones that would like to have you. But it takes painstaking work to compile such s list and only you can do so for yourself.

So, go right on ahead and apply. It think you had better put more time and effort on Plan B. Hopefully that’s better researched than this plan.
