<p>Yes, I’m Indonesian too. Currently studying in Singapore though, applying for fall term next year. </p>

<p>I looked around abit. Brigham Young is indeed cheap and has the best business program for the tuition price but your current SAT score makes the university a reach. for IUPUI the tuition isn’t exactly that cheap because you are an international (around 19k unless collegeboard is mistaken). However, your score is definitely competitive there and the university does have a finance/banking major. I’m not too sure about rankings though</p>

<p>Financial aid is hard to get for internationals, especially because the amount of endowment funds that lower tier universities get isn’t that much. Usually financial aid is given to in-state students because the university is funded by local taxpayers. Furthermore, most merit scholarships consider SAT scores. So far I haven’t heard of any scholarship offered for good TOEFL.</p>

<p>If you can afford it, I’d suggest retaking SAT and study like hell for it to make yourself more competitive. Try to work on your CR more. Remember that most colleges don’t really consider writing subsection. Otherwise, I wish you all the best!</p>

<p>The state schools in Virginia and other southern states are possiblilites. VPI, Mary Washington, James Madison are all schools that get good press. College of Charleston, Clemson, are a couple of others.</p>

<p>binghamton’s school of management has a good reputation – are you sure a management degree won’t meet your needs? according to their website, you can specialize in finance <a href=“http://som.binghamton.edu/prospectivestudents/prospective_undergrad_faq.html[/url]”>http://som.binghamton.edu/prospectivestudents/prospective_undergrad_faq.html&lt;/a&gt;

<p>Grove City College is one of the best deals in the country but not a lot of partying.</p>

26

<p>wow..thx for all your reply. I really appreciate it. </p>

<p>I guess, I could re-take my SAT. But FYI, to get those score, I had to take SAT twice. So, would colleges even consider the third? And as far as I know, colleges want SAT score that you’ve taken in high school. They even don’t consider SAT for people who already graduated from high school for more than 5 years. Am I right?</p>

<p>Grove City College has low tuition, but do they have good academics?</p>

<p>THX AGAIN FOR YOU ALL!!</p>

27

<p>Rutgers maybe…</p>

28

<p>If you’re interested in a small school, Flagler College in St Augustine, FL has Finance but is about $18,000.</p>

29

<p>I was interested in Rutgers, but its total tuition&fee is $40000. And they don’t have financial aid for F-1 students. </p>

<p>I’m thinking to find a small LACs with good academics and has a lot of financial aid for international students. Carleton is definitely on top of my list. But getting into Carleton isn’t easy thing to do. Do you know LACs that is easy to get into (at least it fits my stats) & have generous financial aid for international students? </p>

<p>THX again!!</p>

<p>SUNY Geneseo
has all the feel of a small liberal arts college in New England
without the price tag</p>

31

<p>lydia!! im from indonesia too! nice too know there’s indonesia in this forum! so i shall speak indo rite?hehe
hai, gw QQ, lo skrg ad dmn? gw lg mw college jg dsna…stau gw kl yg tuitionnya sgtu tu di CUNY Queens ato hunter coll, marymount manhattan college jg 20rb per taun tp blom tmasuk room n board hehe
salam knal ya? ada msn ato ym ga?
tengkyu!</p>

32

<p>CUNY used to be one of my choices, but since I have to get apartment in NYC, the cost would be higher. My best option would be SUNY. </p>

<p>BTW, what is your college QQ?</p>

33

<p>Grove City is a very good school. It (along with Hillsdale in Michigan) does not offer any federal financial aid, all aid is institution based. The school is non-denominational but is predominantly Christian.</p>

34

<p>Rutgers is def not 40k</p>

35

<p>According to the RU website, Rutgers is currently $29,265-$31,209 (depending on major) for non-residents and $20,096-$22,040 for NJ residents. These are the posted costs but actual expenses are usually higher (lab fees, phy ed fees, health clinic fees, parking fees, etc). Also included in total cost are books and travel to/from school (which can be considerable if international) so $40,000 as an estimate may not be that far off. Tuition can rise close to 10% per yr.</p>

36

<p>thx again for all your reply!</p>

<p>I’m start thinking to find small liberal art college that has a lot of financial aid for international students…well, definitely the one that could fit my stats. I don’t mind to change my major to economics, even though I could loose some of my credits.. :frowning: Any idea?</p>

37

<p>definitly some SUNY or Cal State. like CAL POLY or CAL long beach. i would also suggest flagler college. its a GREAT school with a VERY low tuition fee</p>

38

<p>I know some of you already mentioned CUNY. I’m kinda interested with Baruch College. Is it really a great school for business? Is it well known in NYC (esp. for the company if I want to look for internship/job)?</p>

<p>I know, that they don’t have housing, which mean I need to rent apartment/room in Mahattan area. I founded in their website about their services to help students who are looking for apartment. And they also suggested to look in EHS (the student housing). From what I have seen in their website, the housing is beautiful with great facilities and reasonable rates. Is that true? Are there any Baruch’s students who want to share their experience looking for apartment? </p>

<p>I saw the testimonial video about the EHS, and the students sound very happy with EHS’s service. </p>

<p>And how about college life in Baruch? Since it doesn’t have its own dorm, will it still be fun & many activities, or it will likely be the same like attending community college?</p>

<p>THX</p>

39

<p>University of North Carolina has an excellent buisness program and im pretty sure its under 10k. its very competetitive oos though. </p>

<p>and personally i dont think it will be the same atmosphere because everyones living off campus. it depends what you like.</p>

<p>I looked at EHS’s web site. The cheapest accommodations for a 9 month term 2008-2009 is $10,400 for a double in Brooklyn. That doesn’t include food or subway fare to get into and out of Manhattan each day. You can probably get a much better deal using newyork.craigslist.org to find a roommate situation for 500-750/mo</p>
