<p>Have you taken the SAT and/or ACT?</p>

<p>Look on some college websites to find out exactly what you need. You may need some of your records translated and reconfigured.</p>

<p>How much can your parents pay each year? Financial aid for int’l students is rare.</p>

<p>i suggest you enroll in a community college first and then transfer to the university of your choice after 2 years. many international students follow that route and its working for them pretty well. many of them ended up at the best schools sucj as UC Berkeley, UCLA, Yale, Stanford, USC among others.</p>

<p>check out community college requirements first.</p>

<p>You should start by reading everything (and I do indeed mean everything) at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.state.gov/]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.state.gov/) Then you need to make an appointment with the counselors at the advising center closest to you. There are several in Lithuania [EducationUSA</a> - Find an Advising Center](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/Lithuania]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/Lithuania) These counselors are the experts on helping students from your country find good places to study in the US. The will know the answers to all of your questions.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>

<p>You should check out websites or bookstores at your country; there should be sites or books on study overseas. In China, there are lots of stuff online and offline (bookstores); I’d think Lithuania has something similar.</p>
