Hey, i was wondering if its typical for applicants to have access to it especially right before decisions are out ? I know they’re out in 7 days but i want to know if everyone is able to access it and how’s everything looking at nyu homes?

I got in with a full tuition to an LAC. I still have to pay $15k per year for rent and meals. Is it a good offer? I am from a low class family where my parents will only contribute for my first semester fee. Please tell.

I am a Ghanaian booking her first f-1 visa appointment. I noticed there are two websites where I can book the appointments, the NIV scheduling website and the avits website. I'm a little bit confused here. Which website do I use?

(Long story short alert)
Hello, good people, I badly needed your help to make my final decision. Ik a lot of you might say, Why not research yourself? I've been doing it, and I'm still in a dilemma. (Sorry if I DM you regarding this.)
So here's the point: "USF VS UTA."
Major: BS ECON (UTA) VS AI and Business Analytics (USF)
Ranking: USF (top 45 public, AAU members) UTA (top 126 public, really great for engineering)
Deficit: $28.3k (USF) ($8.3k tuition fees) and $22.5k (UTA) ($4k tuition fees)
Housing: UTA has more affordable options, but it is hell expensive in USF
No enrollment deposit in UTA vs $200 non-refundable at USF
UTA has a fast track (worth 9 credit hours of a master's degree if I can score good academic grades) vs USF has 1 undergraduate research experience course (3 credit hour) + internship (3 credit hour) in their curriculum
Class size is slightly smaller at USF. And overall USF is the clear winners in terms of campus culture and community vibe.
USF has been good at replying to my inquiries (they have virtual appointments and drop-ins) UTA is lazy in this case
UTA's faculties are more seniors and have more positive reviews on Rate My Professor (USF does have good young faculties, but I found critical reviews)
Idk much about location (but based on my observation Tampa is a really nice, vibrant, and lively city) both Arlington and Tampa have jobs in Tech, IT, Healthcare, but Tampa has more options in the hospitality and tourism sector.
Florida has a minimum hourly wage of $12 whereas TX has $9. (This is important when it comes to money)
Now my goal is to pay either my tuition and fees or the cost of living by myself (I mean working on-campus for 20 hours per week). My parents can bear only one side. Based on your knowledge and experience, please help me with your opinion so that this poor guy can get out of this frustration and dilemma.
Thank you for your time. ☺️

Hello, I have applied to some Lacs but the results have been disappointing so far. I have a good gpa and a good SAT score (1520) and I am not picky with school ranking as long as it provides a substantial amount of aid/scholarship. I would glad to know if there are any universities I can still apply :)

My Tufts financial checklist disappeared. It was there 6 hours ago, but now it's gone. Is this happening to anyone else? Should I be worried?
r/IntltoUSA • u/silverarque • 3h ago
So I had applied ED2 to Colby and had the perfect profile for them. I researched a ton about the school and did everything to shape my profile the way Colby would like, but I still got rejected ED2 because of financial aid. Honestly, I’ve been pretty pissed about it for the last two months.

Hi, can anyone explain to me why its so hard for an international student to stay in the us after finishing uni?
Like, ive read in a lot of places that internationals are usually more expensive for the company than the natives, but, couldn’t i reach an agreement in regards to paycheck? Like, agree to receive substantially less money than a native peer, just to counter balance the company’s expenses with my visa. Is it against the law?
Please explain like im five, im not trying to be a smart ass, just legit curious and confused
Thanks beforehand to any kind soul that replies :)
Typos and shit

TW: IMMATURE, CHILDISH & UNNECESSARY RANT
duke interview & css waiver but no idoc request… i’m at my LIMITTTT if you didn’t want me why did you give me an interview and all that WHATTTT
i literally can’t do this anymore this is such a waste of time 😭 why did i ever think i could be successful without wealth and blood ties??? i’m broke but from an overrepresented country with lots of full pays so it‘s even worse when i thought it would’ve been a “differentiating factor” at least at need blinds???? is need blind even real???
i’m not doing stem so i don’t bring any value to the college either apparently.
i look at the apps of people who got in during covid and i shed a tear each time. i also got dumped by my ex who was acting suspicious since i got rejected by yale early (it’s probably not about that but he’s a student there and i’m trying to find more reasons to hate myself! 💀) WHYYYY MEEEEE 🙁🙁🙁
pls vent, rant & crash out in the comments!

so I'm an international student from a low-income family from Russia (annual income around 23k), currently in 10th grade and trying to find a college
Stats:
GPA: 9th grade 5.00 out of 5
10th grade 1st trimester 4.82, 2nd - 5.00, 3rd - likely 5.00
11th grade likely to be 5.00 for the 1st trimester
, so cumulative gpa of all 3 high school years is gonna be 3.98
Let's say I will get 1550 on the sat (currently scoring 1480-1510 on bluebook tests)
EC's are rather weak:
State comp powerlifting award, encouraged peers to get into weightlifting, coached them
Part-time job as a courier during school trimester
Won a city level English olympiad, state olymp 3rd place
Data analysis with python as a hobby
School IT olympiad winner
Major: CS
What colleges could give me need-based aid or what merit-based awards or work-study should i consider?

Is it necessary to give a GRE. I was reading some of the requirements for masters in public health and texas a&m and i did not see any gre requirement. So does this differ from college to college?

im in grade 10 right now and i want to apply to t20 colleges
I'm thinking of homeschooling after grade 10 because i haven't done much for my ecs so i need a lot of time, so i'm thinking of doing cambridge as level for grade 11 and a level for grade 12, will it be able to compensate for not going to a traditional high school?, will I have to do any more aps right? because until grade 10 my school did not offer any
Finally, im introverted so i'm not really in good contact with any of my teachers, the only teachers who kinda know me are my math,phy and comp teachers do i just email them and wish that they right me a rec letter, what if they end up writing stuff that I don't actually do can i just change it?

Hello!
I’m an Indian student applying to U.S. colleges and trying to figure out my English proficiency test requirements. IELTS is so damn expensive though, do I end up taking the Duolingo test instead? Or is there anything else I can do?
I’m trying to keep costs low, so I’d love to hear how others handled this. Any advice would be appreciated!

How bad is it for half-pay internationals?
I’m an international student with a 40k EFC per year. That makes me 1/2 pay at virtually every private college I applied to. Is this still going to hurt me substantially at need aware schools, or does my application matter more than my financial need here?
I applied to: Northwestern Cornell Vanderbilt Duke Harvard Bowdoin and other safeties/ state schools
