International student with a surgery-related dream career in the US

[austinmshauri]

I have exactly $0 to spend on my education, and I want to get a US education and career so badly that I would do anything for it…I currently have an offer from Warren Wilson College in North Carolina with a partial scholarship with these scores.

You’re a transfer student, so you won’t get much aid from US colleges. The best grants go to freshmen. Even if you increase your scores, you’ll be ineligible for freshmen grants.

Also, I thought about other solutions for the money problem. Maybe I can get a job offer after my undergrad to get some money.

I wouldn’t count on getting one in the US. In good economic times international students have a difficult time getting approval for US jobs. The current economy isn’t good. US citizens are getting laid off in droves. When the economy recovers, US citizens will be first in line for jobs.

And I have another chance that my father would lend me some money after selling a house he owns, which is about $100,000 worth.

How many homes do your parents own? If your dad can sell off a home to raise $100,000 it doesn’t sound like your family has $0 for college.

Please don’t ask them to sell off assets in the hope that you’ll be able to move permanently to the US. You should plan on returning home after graduation. If you borrow $100k from your dad, can you earn enough in your home country to repay it?
