Complicated situation... please help :)

<p>I thought the students used their OPT after they graduated. If they use the OPT during undergrad, won’t they use up a lot of their time? That’s what I was led to believe.</p>

<p>If this OP with a limited gpa wants to come to the states now, won’t he/she incur a huge amount of debt? With his/her stats, he/she wont qualify for merit aid. Would he/she use up OPT time in order to work a minimum wage job off-campus?</p>
