<p>Hey guys!
So I'm a US citizen; I was born, and mostly brought up there. I moved here around 4 years ago and now am in the 11th grade. </p>
<p>When are you guys submitting applications, etc?</p>
<p>I hope we can build on this post so that anyone who has general questions regarding Indians (US citizen or not) who want to get into US universities can gain some more knowledge (this includes me :P)</p>
<p>And yeah, you could use <a href=“http://www.collegeweeklive.com%5B/url%5D”>www.collegeweeklive.com</a> I use the same. Much more economical than visiting the univs. (But you’ll never get that feel of visiting the campus) Also, the timings for universities coming online are a little problematic (11:30 pm - 7:30 am IST)</p>

<p>Well, I’m giving my first SAT1 on May 4, but I’ve also registered for the June one just in case. (after that I will not have time due to ISC exams, which are equally important, and other engineering courses) I’ll also be taking SAT2 (MathII and Physics Subject tests) probably in october. Not sure if that’s a good time though.</p>
<p>I’m about to register for the June Edition of the SAT I, and in May, I’ll be ready for AP Comp Sci A(Self Taught), and will give the SAT II(Math Level II, and Physics).
All in 2014. I’m still confused about the application procedure, and will visit American Center for this purpose.</p>
<p>Nah, I’m in Kolkata… Visit the USIEF Website for better info. I’m going to the USIEF Kolkata Center during the Summer Vacation which is just 2 weeks away.</p>
<p>To those of you guys who are in a university, what are your fees (if you don’t mind, of course), and did you get scholarship? How much? financial aid is pretty important to me.</p>
Any help needed …just post here…If Im around …I’ll try to help answer those queries…:)</p>
