<p>hmmm do GA tech and berkeley offer international scholarships?</p>

11

<p>im not intending to get scholarship from any....
i just wanna know what the chances might be...anyone?</p>

<p>Not bad. However in today's USA environment things are changing rapidly- Reduced budgets for state schools, higher tuitions for US residents and for foreign students -getting a visa. </p>

<p>Higher Education may be shifting from the US to Asia. Many of top students and professors who were the very top in their country and trained in the US, may now find the UIS conditions not as favorable as to their home countries. China(both), Japan , Korea all have leading edge technologies and always welcome back their compatriots. Secretary of State Colin Powell made a speech on this thinking a few months ago. Research it out.</p>

<p>Do you have state recognition and stuff like that? Because school champion isn't as cool as medals at the state level. Wait...you are in Canada....so I guess the provincial level?</p>

14

<p>those competitions are nation-wide...
and my best rankings were 53rd in math and 18th in computer (in the country)
im afraid that colleges won't notice what it is because i didn't put any rankings. (i did put the competitions' names tho.)
do u guys think i should send some kinda additional forms that explain what those competitions are, along with my mid-year reports?</p>
