<p>*His stats are high enough to get admitted to schools that would have given him good sized merit scholarships. </p>
<p>There are not that many colleges out there that give substantial merit aid to ANYONE let alone an international student. *</p>
<p>I didn’t say that there were “many”…however, there are some schools that would have given this int’l student big merit if he had applied to them. There may still be some (if deadlines haven’t passed). It’s a shame that this student didn’t learn from his experience last year. </p>
<p>With a 1410 M+CR, he could have gotten some large merit scholarships (even as an int’l) at some schools. A question is…can his family pay for any of his education? If not, then that’s another issue because he would need “full aid” AND he’d have to qualify for “full aid” (which is another issue). If he needs full aid, but his family is expected by a school to contribute, then that’s another problem.</p>
<p>however, I think Swedish students are given some kind of allowance or something for their education to be used elsewhere (or maybe it’s loans???). Anyway…I think he may have some money available on his end. How much? I don’t know.</p>
