<p>As an international, many questions do arise. How much FA do you need? Do you have a visa etc…This truly makes getting into American colleges as an international an enigma, and the best I can tell you is to apply and see what happens! You do have a very low GPA and there are too many competitive chinese applicants.</p>

<p>Ah. Need absolutely no FA/scholarship because organization pays for it.</p>

<p>Visa is no issue…so yeah. And I understand the thing with lots of competitive applicants, but how many are applying to study polisci? :D</p>
