As an international student, I was not eligible for federal financial aid, which meant I was reliant on getting into schools that had big endowments and offered major scholarships. This was not an easy road but very very fulfilling. Of course, I had to have a good GPA, and 99th percentile test scores, but I can’t take all the credit as there was a ton of luck, kindness, and serendipity that filled my sails on this 12 year odyssey. #collegetuition #medschooltuition #tuition #scholarships #ivyleagues
