<p>I'm an international student. I've graduated from high school this year and will apply to universities this fall. But I have some question regarding ECA and competition at international level. I've heard that in order to get into any top universities, one has to compete in international level. But I'm not from a rich family and I'll be the second person in last 3 generation to attend college if I can do . Only person before me was my sister. </p>
<p>I am so confused and don't know what to do next. I've risked my entire life's work to get a chance to do something good. But I don't know what to do next.</p>
<p>Please help me.</p>
