<p>Liquid assets mean anything that can be converted to cash quickly (in less than a day) at face value. It is convenient to use “cash” and “liquid assets” synonymously.</p>
<p>You also have to show that the amount liquid for school, living expenses, and travel is separate and not needed to support your family. It has to be extra.</p>
<p>*And I thought UC B is the costliest,while other UC’s especially San Diego are comparatively low priced.</p>
<p>And, lets forget about financial aid by colleges.Can’t we get loan (student loan)…*</p>
<p>You have to show that you have the money IN THE BANK for all 4 years. The UCs require that because they don’t want to accept someone who can only pay for one year and then not have money to continue. Too many int’ls have “faked” their funds by collecting money from relatives.</p>
<p>The other UCs are NOT “low priced”. They are ALL over $50k per year and you won’t get aid at any of them as an Int’l.</p>
<p>BTW…the COA for UC San Diego is $52,000…hardly “comparatively low priced” !!!</p>
<p>NO, you cannot get loans here. You’d need a QUALIFIED American co-signer…not likely.
The loans here are for Americans. US Banks aren’t going to lend to an int’l who might then return to their home country and never pay back the debt.</p>
<p>thank you all for this important piece of info…BUT i really wanted to go there…</p>

<p>Who has been advising you through this process? Are you trying to do it all on your own? This is not a wheel that you need to reinvent. Most of your questions probably can be answered by the people in the India sub-forum here. Go to the main page where all of the forums are listed, and scroll down to find it. It is inside the International Students Forum.</p>
<p>You also would be well advised to read through everything at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://educationusa.state.gov/]EducationUSA”>http://educationusa.state.gov/) and to pay a visit to the advising center closest to where you live. There are several in India: [EducationUSA</a> | Find an Advising Center](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/India]EducationUSA”>India | EducationUSA) If you can’t visit in person, the counselors should be able to give you some help by email or telephone. They are expert at helping students in your country find good places to study here.</p>
<p>Well, lots of us “really want to go to ________”, but if we don’t have the money, then we don’t go. That’s life.</p>
<p>Wanting to go somewhere really badly doesn’t cause money to magically appear. Going to an American university is a luxury. There’s a reason why only some can afford to go. </p>
<p>Believe me, most American kids from families who earn what your families earn can’t even go to their own state flagship, much less a school thousands of miles away.</p>
<p>thank u…@happymomof1 …going to see these web sites</p>
<p>Well in UC application it is told not to fill OTHER in grading system if IT is A+ ,A-…
So, do I also need not choose OTHER if my grades are in A1,A2…
and choose A,B,C,D,F as given in option by uc app.</p>
<p>Going back to the thread topic…
Will the UC’s reject my form if I will only show $45k in the gross income.?</p>
<p>Since it looks like they require that you can show funds for all four years, if you don’t show that, it seems that you’ll be rejected.</p>
<p>It appears that they don’t want to accept int’ls who can’t show that they can afford the school. As you’ve indicated, you don’t have the funds.</p>
<p>I mean that my bank account can show full years fee but the gross income is only 45k$…
But by my bank’s statement I can afford.Will it still be a issue.</p>
<p>I don’t see your problem. IF you are not applying for financial aid, the schools are not going to even see your family income. If you have the money sitting there to pay for college, you aren’t going to get financial aid, so there is no sense even applying. You either can afford to pay or you cannot. It’s not like you are going to get financial aid if you have the money but don’t want to use it. I already told you that getting money out of the UCs is highly unlikely. You have to find out for yourself if they are need aware for internationals who are applying for aid and if they even give aid to internationals. If they don’t, it’s moot point to apply for financial aid and they won’t see your income. They’ll either accept or reject you on your academic profile.</p>
<p>Now getting a student visa to come into the country is a whole other thing, and you have to look at rules on that and follow them. Have no idea if it’s income or assets they need to see. I thought they had to see that your family has the money sitting there, not what they are earning, but that the money is there to pay for you in the US. The whole idea is that the US does not want you coming here unless you have a way to pay for the COA of the college. So either the college has to commit to paying for you or your family has to have the money sitting there to cover the expense or a combination of both. Those are two separate issues.</p>
<p>I just did a quick check and I can tell you that most of the UCs do NOT give financial aid to international students. So it’s a waste of your time to apply for aid there. So the UCs will not be interested in your family income or assets or any such thing. That is something you will have to work out with immigration/visa, etc if you are accepted. You will then have to pay the UC and show the that you have the money for your living expenses. You need to check the rules on how that works. But the college won’t care because they are upfront saying you will not get a cernt of financial aid from them. Where and how you get the money to satifiy entry requirement for a study visa is up to those rules and you.</p>
<p>There are two separate money issues here:</p>
<p>1) Information that the college/university requires as part of the international student application. And yes, some want to see the numbers or the application isn’t even read.</p>
<p>2) Information that the visa officer at the US consulate will require before issuing a student visa.</p>
<p>Email the international admissions offices, and ask what they require of you.</p>
<p>Showing ONE year’s tuition expenses is NOT enough for UC Berkeley (and maybe not for the other UCs as well).</p>
<p>Before a U.S. consul will grant a visa, you must prove that you will have sufficient money to meet all your expenses while studying in the United States. You must explain the source of your funds and guarantee that you will receive them while at UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>Unless you are able to provide written evidence demonstrating you have adequate financial resources for the **entire time needed to complete your degree program, ** the consul will not grant a student visa.</p>
<p>I guess UC Berkeley doesn’t want to give one of its limited number of seats to an int’l who may only really have funds for one or two years.</p>
<p>On app of texas austin…they ask to specify : Expected source of financial support…
And the options are :-
1…Personal or family funds
2…Government or private sponsor(full name of sponsor)
3…Other source of financial support(specify)
[with multiple check box]
I will check the first one …and for the third will I have to write student bank loan or the bank name also.</p>
<p>Note: Is it OK to get loan from bank (Indian banks)…the college/vis officers must not have any issues regarding this.</p>
<p>The college doesn’t care where you get your loans, but you will have to show that you HAVE the
Money from those loans to study here. Simply saying you will get them is NOT enough. How much are you hoping to take in loans?</p>
