<p>@iamthebist: How have you applied for aid at UCLA and Berkeley - I thought they do not give any form of aid or scholarship to international students?</p>

6

<p>Tastycles, none of the UCs - or for that matter any public university - can provide internationals with any kind of aid. Just a few hours ago, I read an article on the Washington Post talking about low state funding to UC Berkeley and US Davis from 47% to 11% and 30% to 8% respectively.</p>

<p>Public unis do offer merit aid, but it is highly competitive. Additionally, you can do work in the uni to pay half tuition or maybe less depending on your status.</p>

10

<p>

:eek: half? status? Can you please elaborate on those points liveulife? Thanks :3</p>

11

<p>Lol who said computer science is the hardest major? To the contrary id say its one of the easier ones.</p>

12

<p>@mysticgohan you’re at UCB right ? so you could tell us what kind of merit aid do public unis offer ?? how competitive is it, what’s the eligibility,does one have to be a green card holder??</p>

<p>@tastycles ROFLMAO… your username is awesome !! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: </p>

<p>@everyone hey! you guys have applied to almost 18-20 unis each!! doesn’t that cost like a LOT ??</p>

<p>Nope Caltech</p>

<p>@reichstag: thanks :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>It probably cost a little less than $5000 amongst app fees, sending SAT and TOEFl scores, and registration for SAT, SAT II, TOEFL, and APs.</p>

<p>harvey mudd barely has aid for internationals. :frowning: was my dream college till i saw that</p>

17

<p>

If you come under student visa, you are eligible to work on campus. Where I study, students usually work in the library, computer department, student services…etc. According to F1 visa, you can work max for 20 hours each week on campus. This way, you can reduce your tuition. By how much? It would depend on your school. I would not call the admissions people for this but rather the office of international students since they are the ones to document your status. Some people are considered instate as intls, so their tuition is less for a public. This way, if they work, they have to worry about only their room & board and small amount of tuition money. Hope this explains what I meant.</p>

<p>@livelife how can someone be considered an “instate” if he/she is an international ?? I mean how would that work ?? please elaborate :o</p>

19

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Some schools (public) do give an out of state exemption to international students by charging them instate tution. Other than that, only way to get instate is;</p>

<ol>
<li>Citizen/Permanent Resident having filed tax returns from the state in question.<br></li>
<li>Marry a citizen by the end of 1st semester/quarter like most Pakis and Middle Easterners do, thereby become instate, eligible to work 24/7 etc…,</li>
</ol>

<p>this helps if you at a state school, for private schools it does not matter:)</p>
