<p>@alsa2000 haha thanks 
I feel you - wish we could get fin aid because we don’t want our parents to pay/our parents don’t want to pay! Haha it’s a burden to feel so indebted to my parents, so I’m going to try really hard to get scholarships somewhere. What are you going to do if you get into your dream school and your parents refuse to pay? :/</p>
<p>@epan1997 yeah I understand being an international Asian doesn’t really help 
thanks! Will try to apply as many as I can, to widen my chances. Are my EC’s alright? I know I make the cut, grades-wise. </p>
<p>@thearrow thanks! I’d kill to get into Duke hehe 
It’s one of my top choices. Chanced you back!</p>
