<p>My recommendation as a parent: Look for more schools that offer the programs in which you are interested. Find schools that have an international population and are looking for internationals. If you want to go to school in the US, you can. Just don't get stuck on Princeton and MIT.</p>

Did you get into any college in the U.S?</p>
