<p>Hi MetdethGNR.</p>
<p>There are many good suggestions here. I want to tag onto some of them…You can work (babysit?) and go to community college for a year, and start your application process over again. There actually ARE some schools that offer financial aid to international students, though they are apparently pretty rare. For example, I am aware of one international CCer who got a very generous package from American University. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
