<p>Hey! I am an international student and I have recently been accepted to an elite US College... My Brother is a junior and not a really good student...</p>
<p>I would like some suggestions for colleges that accepts international students (2-year...or even 4 -year... and NOT selective ones...)</p>
<p>Is he in the US? Then he needs to talk with his guidance counselor. If he can get his act together so that he will have a 3.0 by the end of high school, there are plenty of colleges and universities that will be happy to admit him. Many places would admit him with even a lower GPA than that.</p>
<p>But the important question is whether he’s even ready to start thinking about this process at all. Why are his grades in that range? Is he just not interested in school? Is he more interested in sports than in his classes? Does he have an unidentified learning disability that is keeping him from doing as well as he could? College is hard. It is very nice that he won’t need any financial aid, but he is going to have to pass his classes in order to complete his degree. If he really isn’t interested in schoolwork, perhaps he should think about taking a Gap Year and/or working for a while until he has a better sense of his career goals.</p>
<p>Well, he is a very smart kid with a high IQ, but he has been in influenced by the high school social life… you know… friends, parties… anyway…</p>
<p>We are both in Greece… I know the application procedures…
The thing is that I know only about the top 50 colleges and universities… I have never searched about any school too far below that…yet my brother needs something not that selective…</p>
<p>So, I would like to show him some colleges with the majors I mentioned in the 1st post…</p>
<p>You should run searches for those majors using a couple different college search engines. There is a good one here. You can find the link to it on the main page. He is more likely to find this kind of program at a public university. He also should think about where he would like to work. Will a degree in this field from a US university get him a job in Greece or elsewhere in Europe after he graduates, or would it make more sense for him to study in Greece?</p>
<p>He would like to work in the states… and he definitley wants to do something relevant with sports… Thanks for your help…I am gonna do a little search…</p>
<p>With those choices for his major, it is going to be very hard for him to get a permanent job in the US. The only people I know who have been successful in finding sponsors for their H1B visas are people who have at least an MS in a technical field. Most of them have PhDs in the sciences, and multiple years of post-doctoral research behind them! Your brother absolutely must have a plan that will enable him to get a job outside the US.</p>
<p>Thanks happymom… we are not very informed about the visa stuff… well, can one get a permanent visa because he has a good job at the states… eg a researcher, economist ect???</p>
<p>colleges like drexel, suffolk etc would be in that range… though i dont know of too many either… but they readily accept internationals who are paying…</p>
<p>Plays football and volleyball…
NO FINANCIAL AID

<p>Are you saying that this brother doesn’t need financial aid? Your parents will pay full freight? ??? Didn’t you get full need-based aid at your school?</p>
