<p>Hey everyone! I'm Bart and I come from Poland. I'm 16 years, so I've got about 2.5 years ahead of me before going to US to study (just if I'm admitted, of course). I think my English is quite good and I'm likely to get good results in SAT (I'm gonna take World History and Literature as Subject Tests). I also have a lot of extracurricular acitivities that I hope will impress the people who will see my applications. However, my family is not rich and I wonder if I'll live up to the financial expectations of American universities. Harvard (and generally the Ivy League) is my dream. I know that they first look at my personality, interests etc. and if they know that I'm right for the university then they will cover all the costs. Obviously, I also consider a lot of other universities, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pay for them. Many American scholarships are accessible only to US citizens. Scholarships for international students are often not enough for paying for the college. What do I have to do then? Where do I have to look for money?</p>
<p>Thank you
Bart</p>
