Help for Iranian Students looking to go to American colleges

<p>Hi, my name's Mazi. I'm a senior in high school and I'm Iranian-American. I'm creating this thread to help answer any questions Iranian students might have about applying to colleges in the US. I know how tough the system is in Iran for high school students looking to go to college. I really want to help any of you who want to come here for college by answering as many questions about the application and admissions process as I can. Of course, if you're not from Iran, but are still Iranian (like me), I'd love to give you a hand, too.</p>

<p>I am an Iranian-American senior student too! I moved from Iran in 10th grade.</p>

<p>Wow and you made it to Yale? I feel like a loser Iranian cause I got deferred from Yale on ED! :( But congrats to you though. Hope I join ya ;)</p>

<p>Hey Maz, My name is Merdan and I'm a student from Turkmenistan.
I'm an above average student with 3.9 GPA and tons of extracurricular activities.
I can speak 6 languages fluently.</p>

<p>Which schools would you suggest to me?
I mean obviously I need financial aid? </p>

<p>Thanks,
Merdan</p>

<p>Salaaaam Doostan! :)
I am also of assistance, if anyone needs any...which doesn't seem like many at this point. I responded to Merdan's post in another thread.
Do do do do do do Iran! (okay, I'm corny...)</p>

<p>Was it Turkmenistan that just booted the US Military base out of their country? What goes around comes around</p>

<p>That was Kyrgyzstan. Sorry Merdan, I promise there will be a few people here who can find your country on a map.</p>

<p>Thanks Amicus Peregrini.
According to your location, I assume you are a Harvard student...
