<p>Thanks aedmic I really appreciate your help. Getting proper advise in my country is out of the question since disclosing this kind of personal information is punishable by law. So internet is my only option. Needless to say, over the past month i got pretty familiar with colleges in the US and I narrowed my choices to a couple of LAC’s with a “supposedly” holistic admission process.
In my case, FinAid is pretty important although i expect to contribute. Which narrows my college choice to only private and “somewhat rich” colleges that can afford Finaid to internationals.
And i really wouldnt want exploit my “situation” to gain sympathy from admission officers, im sure they hear stories like mine all the time. I was hoping my Tests and EC’s do the talking but what can you do…</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it.</p>
