Dear International Students Seeking Financial Aid: YOU CAN DO IT!

@seniorburnout hello!, I’m almost in the same circumstances, I have a strong academics, but not amazing extracurriculars, and my financial situation it’s terrible compared to the US economy (its currency is too strong right now) I
I also have some questions about how you did in your applications:

  1. Did you ask your counselor and teachers to write the same recs for every University?
  2. haven’t taken the SAT yet. Actually, it’s the first time I will be taking them, I have 50 days left until that day. Do you think it’s enough time for preparing and getting a high score? (By the way, I’m a high school graduate so I have 24/7 available).
  3. What did your family think about that decision?
  4. Did you pay all the application fees or did you ask for fee waivers?

Sorry if I’m going too personal, I hope you don’t mind answering, Thanks.
