QUESTIONS about the FORMS

Paying for College
1

<p>I am an international student and I am applying to universities in the US. When I was filling in the forms required by colleges in my application to need-based financial aid, I found some problems and as the deadline is approaching, I am desperate.... please help me with it!</p>

<ol>
<li><p>On one column of the "2010-11 international student certificate of financial aid", the signature of a bank official is required. However, my family's savings are in several accounts in some different banks; as a result, should I provide the signature of just one official or officials of all the banks in which I have an account? Also, should I just enter the estimated or planned amout of money or all the money in the bank?</p></li>
<li><p>On the first section of the "2010 international student financial aid application", should I wrote ALL the colleges I've applied to or just the one I am sending the form to on the question 10 (List below the names of the colleges and universities to which you are applying.)? </p></li>
<li><p>Also on the "2010 international student financial aid application", when I am filling in the amount od income and expenses of my family, should I proveide the exact amount or a rough number? For as I am an international student, a round figure will have decimal point when converted in US dollar. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>I know they might be quite technical but I really have no other source for information.Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m an international student applying for financial aid in this cycle as well.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Since they give six blanks, it seems to me that it’s more likely the former (all the colleges you’ve applied to) they are seeking.</p></li>
<li><p>I think you should compute the figures as exactly as you can in your country’s currency, convert it to US dollars and round the final figure off to a whole number or to two decimal places. You should round off your figures after converting to US dollars, not before.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>
