<p>lol, okay :)</p>
<p>Intl students who need the loan need signature(s) of US citizen. So can schools just give out loans to intl students?</p>
<p>Yes. Schools that offer need-based financial aid to international students give them loans that do not need a u.s. citizen co-signer. For instance, I got a small portion of my financial aid package from Vassar in loan, which is a type of loan that doesn't require a u.s. citizen as a co-signer. However, if you want to borrow money directly from American banks, I believe you need a co-signer in most cases.</p>
<p>By the way, I advise those who have taken pre-calculus to take Math IIC. IIC covers stuff in pre-cal, so the knowledge will still be fresh in your head, and you're allowed to make a few mistakes and still manage a perfect 800. With IC, the problems are easier, but you'd have to be extra careful to get 800. I know of people who got 800 on IIC but less than 750 on IC. So, take IIC if you can. Just my 2 cents.</p>
<p>is that the university's own money? can u give me the name of the loan you got?</p>
<p>Yeah, it's the loan of the college's own.
I get Mengal Loan from Lafayette. But my other schools offer aid withouth loans.</p>
<p>sweetbee03 does one need any special preparation if he wants to take IIC?</p>
<p>katerila, I think it depends on yourself and your school's math program. Trying on a sample test should answer your question.</p>
<p>Yeah, try a practice test first. Basically, you should be fine if you have taken pre-calculus in school. It's better, however, if you get a study guide. I used Barron's Math IIC to prepare, and the actual test turned out to be easier than the practice tests in the Barron's book.</p>
<p>Just don't freak out if you can't do the Barron's practice tests within the time limit. I got like 30 correct answers out of 50 when I did Barron's but when I did the collegeboard's my score was always in the 800 range. Also, my actual MathIIC score is 800.</p>
<p>Yeah I've noticed that about Barron's
valecollegorian that's impressing
Thanks</p>
<p>How much international aid do ivy league schools give out?</p>
<p>Depends on which ivy you're talking about. Harvard, Yale and Princeton and need blind toward internationals and they're the most generous ones. The other ivies have limited budget and thus can only offer financial aid to a few internationals each year. For details, you can check out the schools' websites and their profile on collegeboard.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info.</p>
