Question:cuz of some personal problem for the last 2 yrs. n even at this time too. Actually i wanna go to US n there is no support, neither financially nor nor to help me make my visa etc n i don't know how to get them made. Though i've always been quite good in studies. But getting very less marks in engg. In 1st sem. i got 67%, in 2nd 60%, in 3rd 72%, n in 4th 62% . I've no idea what to do now.

I m in stress due to this for the last couple of months. Can something be done now ? Will i get admission in some good college ? Can i get scholarship to finance my MBA studies ? thanx

Answers:
You have many options to help you get into NYU or any good school.

The first thing you should try to do is to get a grant or scholarship. You can read more about them here:

Then you go online and search for the grants and scholarship that will help you. Since you're an international student you can look at these sites:

If you can't get a grant or scholarship, you can always take out a student loan. You have to pay these back after you graduate, but it's a great help when you don't have any other ways to pay for tuition.

Here are the steps you need to take to get a student loan:

1) Fill out the FAFSA. This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid. Go here:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

2) Once you are eligible for aid, choose a government-based student loan. The best loan to get is a Federal Perkins Loan. These have low interest rates and the government will help you pay it back as long as you stay enrolled in school. You also don't need a cosigner or good credit for it. For more info go here:

3) The next best loan to get is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. This has many of the same benefits as a Perkins Loan. Learn more here:

Don't be depressed because if you want to go to college you can do it! It may take time to get financial help, but it will happen. Good luck!
