Maybe it's just a blurry dream I have to study internationally, but actually looking at it now, it feels impossible.
First off, the reality is that many colleges/universities don't offer full-ride scholarships, coming from a middle-class family I probably wouldn't be able to transfer even if I ended up being accepted with a fully funded tuition (I.e living expenses)
Second, there's too much preparation needed (SATs, IELTs, etc.) It isn't about taking the tests, but also the confusion that comes with a lot of foreign terminologies (AP, GPA, etc.) since my school doesn't have these, I feel like that would set me back
Third, the best possible outcome is to be accepted by an Ivy league for incoming undergraduates due to their scholarship, but even that is too much of a reach😭
Any suggestions? The process of preparing for college is hectic and I'll have to balance applications w the colleges here within the country
