<p>I've recently been considering my college selections as a junior, and I've always had a real urge to go overseas, and now with college knocking at the door, I thought why not go to school overseas?</p>
<p>However, my dilemma is that I don't really know about the applying process, and more importantly the financial aid offered, if any, and maybe some tuition fees or something to get me started. I just wanna know about getting over to college overseas and how it contrasts with the American way.</p>
<p>A few stats:</p>
<p>Black male from NJ
GPA 4.1-4.2 W 3.7-3.8 UW
SAT (Projected) 2250
Some good ECs</p>
<p>I also may be taking the ACTs.</p>
<p>Specifically I am looking for colleges in Italy, The netherlands, France, and Spain. Italy, spain and the netherlands are my first choices though.</p>
<p>As an African American male with high stats, you will be in a VERY advantageous position applying to US schools: from an admissions standpoint and/or from a financial aid standpoint. I'm not sure that, in your particular situation, it makes sense to walk away from that advantage and apply to schools where the advantage may not be there and where financial aid is likely to pale in comparison to what would be available at US schools.</p>
<p>You could easily do a semester or year abroad from any of the top US colleges or universities.</p>
<p>How about St. Louis University in Madrid? You apply to it in exactly the same way that you apply to St. Louis University in Missouri. You can get a nice international business major there. It is relatively inexpensive, too.</p>
