<p>Hey.
I'm a US Citizen, studying abroad. I'm currently in my second year of A' Levels and will give my final exams June 2009. I've planned to take my SAT in January 2009 and give the SAT Subject Tests after my A' Levels, in September/November and then apply for the winter session 2010 at UCSD. (University of California at San Diego).</p>
<p>I would just like to know what I should do and what I need before I send in my application. I would also really appreciate some guidance in how I can apply for financial aid. It would be of extreme help if one of you could let me know everything that I require to apply to this particular US University. My mother and father both reside in San Diego, so transport/housing is not a problem for me. Budget, on the other hand, is. And I really need financial aid.</p>
<p>Please let me know what I need to do/should do before I apply and how/when I should apply for financial aid, in any form.</p>
<p>Thank you very much. Your help/advice will be incredibly appreciated.</p>
