<p>Добро пожаловать! :)</p>
<p>It’s nice to see other Russians on here.</p>
<p>Hey, cricket123!
Where are you from?</p>
<p>Hey!
Born in Moscow but came to the US when I was two.
My parents and their parents and so on were born and raised in Moscow.
You?</p>
<p>I’m from Nizhny Novgorod.
Are you applying as US citizen?</p>
<p>Yes. I have a US citizenship as do my parents…</p>
<p>You’re lucky then :)</p>
<p>Why?
Are you applying as a Russian citizen? Is that more difficult?</p>
<p>Yes, I’m applying as a Russian citizen (no other variants lol)
Well, financial aid for international students is VERY limited and it is unbelievably hard to get, while there are a lot of colleges that are need-blind for US citizens. That’s why you’re lucky.
And another thing, since you’ve lived in the USA for a long time you must have good scores (CR and Writing particularly), don’t you?</p>
<p>BTW, what language do you consider as your native?</p>
<p>Oh, I was thinking being international would increase your chances of being accepted… I didn’t think about financial aid limits.
That sucks. 
I’m sure if you dig really deep though, you can find some good scholarships for international students.</p>
<p>Well, it depends on what you consider a good score. My best SAT scores are 680CR, 700M, and 770W. How are yours?</p>
<p>I consider Russian to be my native language.</p>
<p>Best of luck!!! :D</p>
<p>Thanks! I wish you the same!
But I don’t wanna post my scores because they really suck.</p>
<p>Ahh, it’s okay.
I am sure everything will work out for you :)</p>
<p>Thanks!
BTW, I’ve always wondered, is it true that on a date a girl pays for herself in the USA?</p>
<p>No. That’s not true. I mean, I guess that sometimes happens on more casual dates but the guy is usually expected to pay…</p>
<p>Thanks for the clarification :)</p>
<p>No problem. 
Feel free to ask me any other questions!</p>
<p>prostozina, like 7 or 8. How many do you have?</p>
<p>Do you mean the number of colleges I’m applying to?</p>
