i am an norwegian high schooler and i REALLY want to study abroad in America. My only worries is that my english skills aren’t good enough and that i can’t keep up in class if i don’t understand.. do you think that it was a hard part when studying abroad? and how do i know if i can take it?
Saang school nmn po if ever? ?
Katie Tracy you didnt tell me that you were going to my schoooll huhu i wanted to meet you ;-;
“apply early” one of the most important things when you’re trying to apply for college for real.
kyla Live in Kalamazoo Michigan and get ? % of it paid. It’s called “ Kalamazoo Promise “ program. You can even use it for private colleges.. do not need to be an American either.
Getting a full ride as an international student is quite uncommon and even though this video is quite helpful, it is not the most realistic approach since it may lead international students to believe they can easily do this. Please take the time to call your university’s financial aid office and ask for campus jobs beforehand. Also, summer college programs are super overrated in my opinion and very unaffordable, so don’t think is normal for international students or required at all. In your essays, make sure to emphasize the fact that you easily stand out from the rest of your classmates because you always had the idea of studying abroad. Mentioning how close you are to the American university culture even though it may not have been directly “handed” to you (ex: you did not attend an international school or had the same opportunities as others). There are many factors that international students consider to be weaknesses but are actually strengths (we tend to have a very different profile, use it to your advantage!) – International student accepted to Columbia University & Sciences Po Paris
Oh my god!! Columbia University is my dream that is so amazing!!
thank you for sharing this ana! this is super helpful. congratulations by the way!
I would be very interested for some tips from you
Hey, I want to study abroad, can I ask some questions. If so, what’s your insta?
Thanks ?
wow!
when you’re casually watching your favorite youtuber then your friends show up in a video
Eryn MK EYY THAT’S SO COOL!!?
Watching this video feel like a roller coaster. I was like wow an opportunity for the Filipino people to receive a full scholarship in the states. Then, when they mention their extra curricular activities…….. The guy was part of the engineering team that designed the first Filipino satellite called DIWATA and the other girl is a member of the New York academy of art and science. So… I’m guessing, having a high GPA and being involved in extracurricular activities at school and helping the poor, wouldn’t cut me to get a full scholarship abroad. LOL
@Katie Tracy you are to sweet! more power to you
kaya mo yan!! even if it’s not for college, YOU are capable of doing great things like them.
Same xD
FULL COLLEGE TUITION AND BONUS SPENDING MONEY?? NO WAY
@Ramon Lopez LMFAO
Yes, if your extracurricular activities contain of designing the first Filipino satellite, being member a of prestigious research team for STEM and involved in being part of math and science competition around the globe.

Woooow thisnis so helpful??
Im planning to study outside the Philippines after I finish undergrad but the problem is my parents cannot support my financial needs. I am going to look for scholarships or sponsors to cover all the expenses for the application. It is also disheartening that I am not that kind of achiever compared to these people, even though I am currently studying at the best university in the country.
