<p>I really sympathize with your position, and I hope it works out well for you. But you have to understand it from the point of view of U.S. college admission officials. First, like others have said, you have to tell them about your current college. This isn’t so much an issue of whether credits apply, as it that college admission officials want to understand who you are as a person, which means understanding what you’ve been doing for the past three years of your life. Like someone else noted, even if you did omit your college experience, admission officials are still going to wonder what you’ve been doing for the past 3 years of your life, something you can’t explain without mentioning the college. Now this is my take on the situation, and granted i’m mainly familiar with highly selective colleges in the U.S. so it may not be completely accurate, but I think if you fully explain your situation, than the college admissions officials will at least be sympathetic. I can’t say if that will translate into financial aid or acceptances, but there is a big difference between someone who slacked off for the past 3 years and got bad grades in college, and someone like you who was in a rather extreme and difficult positon, that resulted in the bad grades, and if you explain all that openly and honestly, they will at least understand where you’re coming from. For more specific advice I’d reccommend trying to find some sort of counselor, whether online or where you live, that could advise on things like certain schools not accepting international transfers, your chances for financial aid, any special scholarship opportunities, etc. </p>
