Hi everyone,
So I have a friend visiting from Sweden who really really wants to attend a local college (we’re located in Memphis TN) for engineering. We have several colleges in the area including Christian Brothers University, University of Memphis, and Rhodes…the first two being pretty well respected for their engineering programs. However, he just took the October ACT and doesn’t think he did that well (he wanted a 27) of course it’ll be a few weeks before he knows for sure, but he highly doubts he got a 27 or anything close. He says this is this ACT score is his only chance to get into one of the local colleges. Is it really though? I’d like to kind of help him out if I can, but don’t know much when it comes to international student admissions. Are there any other ways he could still get into a local university?

Not sure why he’s aiming for 27, but I’m assuming he’s hoping for some financial aid or something. So also, are there any other ways for international students to receive financial aid?
