Undergraduate / A Berea College Aspirant From India, Still Figuring Out The Steps..........Friends, Can You Help? [5]

Thanks, I should start preparing for TOEFL too. But, @vangiespen by private tuition grants, do you mean the ones in USA or in my home country? And what should I do to get one?

Undergraduate / A Berea College Aspirant From India, Still Figuring Out The Steps..........Friends, Can You Help? [5]

I'm a student from India studying in the 10th grade. So that leaves me 2 years to graduate from high school equivalent and I figured it's time for me to really get serious about my career plans. It's been a dream for me to study in the USA and that will be my target.

My scores are above average (most above 90%) and if that persists, it will convert to a decent GPA. I'll also take the SAT successively in the next two years and work hard towards my goal.

But there's a huge drawback in the entire process - money. It's impossible for my family to afford the tuition costs in addition to living expenses in the USA. Here Berea College's No-tuition Expenses Promise comes as a blessing to me and I'll strive to get accepted.

I'd be grateful for any advice you give me that will help me chalk-out a step-by-step plan or even little details that you might feel are necessary.

Thank you so much!

Student Talk / Do SAT scores really count? [63]

Well SAT scores and GPA are a strong combination to boost your application. You should check if the college you're applying to accepts super-scoring pattern so that you get to submit the highest section marks you received among all the times you took SAT. That way the SAT scores increase by a good difference. Good luck to you!
