<p>Now I am junior. I took SAT math 2(640) and Reasoning SAT(will know in 2 more weeks, it's not over 1500 I guess). I'm taking one AP class this year(Calculus). I am in math league, science club.......I'm going to take AP physic, AP statistic and AP computer programming for senior year and other classes = Honor. I'll take TOEFL in my senior year...thanks</p>
<p>We’re going to need more info than that. Like, what’s your GPA? Where do you live? What do you think you may want to major in? etc.</p>
<p>try that college search tool here on CC that’s advertised on the home page or something …plus there are many more of these if you google “college search tools, etc.”</p>
<p>My GPA is 4.2925, rank 26. I want to go to college in MA because I’m living here. I want study Computer science and Electrical Engineering. What’s else do you want to know?</p>
<p>If you are already living in MA, and you are attending school there, then the best advice in your case is available right in your high school guidance office. Go talk with your guidance counselor. That person can tell you where students like you have been admitted in the past few years.</p>

<p>What can your family afford?</p>
<p>They can’t afford for both of the school, but can I apply for financial aid?</p>
<p>Of course you can apply for financial aid. Whether you get enough so that you can afford that college is a different thing. Talk with your guidance counselor about this too.</p>
<p>You also should read through everything at [FinAid</a>! Financial Aid, College Scholarships and Student Loans](<a href=“http://www.finaid.org%5DFinAid”>http://www.finaid.org) and discuss that information with your parents. You also can learn a lot by reading through the Financial Aid Forum here.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>OP, are you an American citizen?</p>
<p>SLUMOM brings up an important point. Financial aid is very different for US citizens and Permanent Residents, compared to people who have other kinds of visas. If you are a citizen or permanent resident (or certain kinds of refugee status), you can file the FAFSA and you are eligible for federally determined financial aid.</p>
<p>If you are in an immigration status that doesn’t permit you to file the FAFSA, you will be considered an international applicant for financial aid purposes. It is much harder for international students to receive financial aid, but some of them do. You would need to investigate the aid policies of the colleges and universities that you are thinking about, and find out whether they offer any aid to international applicants.</p>
<p>I came to USA with K2 visa along with my mom K1 Visa. I’ve been to usa for 9 months so far. I have no idea about the financial aid. What are some immigration status that don’t permit to file out the FAFSA? Am I in that case? If yes, It’s so tough for me!!</p>
<p>K1 means that your mother came here to marry a US citizen. After she arrived, she had 90 days to get married to him, and as soon as they got married, he needed to file the Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) for her. This means that her green card should be being processed right now. If the paperwork was done correctly, you should get your green card when she does. If the two of you don’t have your green cards yet, you need to get in touch with your mom’s immigration lawyer and find out how soon you should have them.</p>
<p>As soon as you have your green card, you will qualify to file the FAFSA. So that is a very good thing. Even if the paperwork is slow, you will probably have it before you apply for financial aid next January.</p>
<p>Yeah, I already got my 2 years green card, so it’s more easy for me to apply for college. Thank so much that’s really help me.</p>
<p>Excellent! This makes you a US applicant. Your guidance counselors and your teachers should be able to help you with everything. The only extra things that you have to do are take the TOEFL, and have copies of your foreign school records ready in case any place that you apply to needs them.</p>
