Applying to the USA help!
I am a senior studying Finance in AUB (American University of Beirut) its in Lebanon. I want to transfer to a university in the USA (preferably NY or SC since I have family there). I was born in New York so I am an American citizen. I am hoping you can answers some questions I have.
- What are the benefits of moving to finish university in the USA? (I heard its better for apply to jobs) (I also heard if I finish university in the USA then I dont have to do a masters)
- I come from a worn torn country and I am Arab. I would like to write about this during my student essay and Im wondering if someone could give me tips on what I should say. It has definitely affected my grades and my life.
- as I said about my grades are good but not the best (3.3gpa). What are the chances with a very good student essay I get into the a top 100 university?
- I am using WES evaluations and its taking a lot longer than expected. What happens if I miss the window to apply? And If I am senior in a American university approximately how much of my credits will I have to repeat (any approximation will help) (I am not bothered if I have to repeat a year or 2)
- Also as I come from a third world country finance are really hard so I am wondering what is the best way to get financial aid and if I can not get financial aid should I apply for student loans? ( I heard alot of bad stuff about student loans and that idea kinds scares me)
Thank you for your time. I appreciate all the help. I hope you have a blessed day.
