<p>Hello everyone, thanks for visiting this thread, I hope you will answer and advise something, help me please!

<p>[li] IELTS => 7 (took in december)</p>[/li]
<p>[li] GPA => 4.0 out of 4.0</p>[/li]
<p>[li] Rank => Top 5%</p>[/li]
<p>[li] In our city, no school offer any IBs or APs.</p>[/li]
<p>I would have good marks, what a pity that I had no chance to take pre-undergraduate classes. But I'm well-rounded, here it is:</p>

<p>[li] Volunteer: Was honoured a medal as the best volunteer on 7th Asian Games, was a personal assistant of Chairman of Organisation Commitee during his stay here in Kazakhstan.</p>[/li]
<p>[li] Work Experience: Worked at my mother's workplace as a programmer, was a moderator of the biggest video-website in our country, our my own small business (online shop, so I have also a website =D)</p>[/li]
<p>[li] I play well on our national musical instrument and got many honor letters.</p>[/li]
<p>[li] Founder and president of English club in my school.</p>[/li]
<p>[li] Attended proffesional Swimming, was a member of school of sport for youth.[/li]All the essays and recommendation letters are prepared for me, and I saw them.... they were awesome... couldnt be better... our teachers do want us to get enrolled to a good institution. =) So everything is fine with it.</p>

<p>Income: total, less than 15 000$ per annum.</p>

<p>I need a good fin. aid, or a scholarship, could u please advise me something, suggest me some unis, I would be happy to check them out and say thanks from my whole heart, for it can change my life. Any country in Europe and America would be fine.</p>

<p>Getting Full RIde is not EASY. You really have to do very well in the SATs >2200 atleast.
THen you have to have great serious Extra Curriculars, Write great Essays.</p>

<p>Try applying to Need Blind colleges in USA like Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT and so on. There are like 6 colleges that are need blind to Internationals.</p>

<p>Try to improve your SAT II also. Like bring them up to >700.</p>

<p>All the best.</p>

<p>This question gets asked a lot. You are international, so full rides are rare.</p>

<p>Search this forum:
[International</a> Students - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/]International”>International Students - College Confidential Forums)</p>

<p>You say you are a senior. Are you looking for a college to go to this fall? I hope not because most if not all scholarship deadlines have past, and many admission deadlines are past as well.</p>

<p>You need to read through everything, and I do indeed mean everything, at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/) Then you need to make an appointment with the counselors at the advising center closest to where you live. There are several in Kazakhstan [EducationUSA</a> - Find an Advising Center](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/Kazakhstan]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/Kazakhstan)</p>

<p>The counselors there will be able to tell you which colleges and universities in the US have admitted students like you recently, and whether or not those students received good financial aid.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>

<p>Hey Starseeker -
My brother is from Kazakhstan!</p>

<p>Check out IREX and the Global UGRAD program. You can get one year of undergraduate study in the US paid for in full, but you cannot matriculate from a US college. Depending on what your goals are, this may be an option for you. Admission is VERY competitive. Good luck!</p>
