<p>By the way, I'm Vietnamese</p>
<p>To misgibs,</p>
<p>the experience I had w/ USC was rather strange.
I live in the US, so there wasn't the prob of converting your income blah.
I actually sent in my financial statement in w/ my app, but i was about $12k short. I figured that if i didn't get the Trustee, there's just no way that I'd be able to afford USC, seeing as to how they offer no FA for internationals. Therefore, I didn't really care how well my bank statement matched w/ the cost of USC. </p>
<p>When I got my acceptance, they also sent a statement saying that they're missing my financial statement, and that I need to resend it or w/e.
I decided to wait until I got confirmation of Trustee, and then I sent the statement over.
I believe your income does count if you write a letter promising that you'll provide support. At least that was an option for Rice, b/c our bank account didn't match up to Rice's COA, so my parents signed a letter of financial promise/responsibility. </p>
<p>I think for USC, they don't requre the financial statement as a prerequisite to reviewing your app, but for Rice, it's absolutely requiredd. I would assume it's important to submit that stuff b4 your son goes to the international orientation, b/c that's when they take care of the visa process. W/o the proof of financially ability, the school won't be able to provide the form to apply for F-1 visa.</p>
<p>I've made a similar experience with Johns Hopkins. I never sent in proof for my ability to pay and successfully ignored there email saying that I had to send this as soon as possible. I still got admitted...
But yeah, for the visa application it's an absolute necessity.</p>
<p>Thanks both lulupony and Rister_Chutophs for you first hand experience. That is exactly what I am looking for. Now I know what I am going to do.</p>

<p>Xalapao, I'm just curious. Why did you apply to so many schools? Were the application costs exorbitant? Your stats and essays must have been impressive. How did you choose Brown over some of the others? Did merit aid influence your decision? Sorry! I'm suffering from insomnia and you and I are the stragglers on CC, I suppose!</p>
<p>I was afraid at the first time that I might get rejected from many schools, so I applied as much as possible. My high school sent fee waivers to all the school I applied. I did not have to pay anything for application fee. The reason I chose Brown is the open curriculum which gives me a special chance to take any class I am interested in. Since my intended major is among Applied Math, Computer Science, Engineering, and Economics, Brown is the right place for me to find my true passion. (Berkeley + Penn are hard to turn down though)</p>
<p>btw, my stats are not that impressive...my SAT1 is only 1960... I think I'm just lucky :)</p>
<p>hehe my SAT1 was only a 1960, and I'm going to attend Cornell which is the only ivy I applied to.</p>
