I agree. He should find a school on the Internet and just contact them and then start the application with them and then with his country to get the visa.

Call or e-mail the financial aid departments of the specific schools you plan to apply to. Many schools offer their own scholarships or tuition-waiver programs for international students.\n\nThe university I attend, Saint Cloud State University in Minnesota (very far up north in the cold), has great programs for students from other countries, such as cheap tuition in exchange for volunteer work. (We have a lot of international students here, too, so you'd have a wide variety of people to meet.) Check it out at this site: http://www.stcloudstate.edu/financialaid/default.asp .\n\nOh, here's another website with essay-writing scholarships you can check:\n\nwww.fastweb.com\n\nAnd there's a guide at this website that gives details of all the different types of loans and grants: http://www.studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2003_2004/english/types-fedperkinsloan.htm .

I think your best bet is to look into a student visa. Go through a list of American colleges that you would like to attend and look at their websites. Each website will have a section to mention their stand on International students. Most colleges need to fill a quota for international students so they do offer scholarships, and being admitted to one of these schools will allow you to apply and receive a student visa while you are studying in college. hope this helps.

as long as you have a diploma from a highschool in your home country, you can legally attend an american university.  the school's main concern will be your grades of course, but also any problems you might encounter in getting a student visa.  please make sure you are eligible to enter the united states for study before applying.  your school should help you with getting the appropriate paperwork.\ngood luck~~

Apply to a University in the U.S. for graduate studies in whatever it is you're interested in.  The better the school, the more resources they're likely to have in terms of resources for international students.  Check out the grad school rankings in US News & World Report - not completely accurate, but the best thing out there & a good place to start. (Link below)\n\nOh yes - there's usually an entrance exam of some type you will need to take according to your area of study.  Grad school in general - GRE, business school - GMAT, etc.  Check out the websites of universities you're interested in - they'll detail what you need to do to apply.

you need the TOEFL and the SAT and possibly the ACT (for southern schools) to study in the US. SAT is no use for any other country, it's an american thing.\n\nAfter you got a good score on the SAT, you need to send that with your high-school grades + other stuff like essays and whatnot to the Univs of your choice. If they accept you, they will give you a form that will allow you to go apply for a student visa.\n\nBut remember - University is ridiculously expensive in the States. In your country you barely pay anything, in the cheapest univs of USA you have to pay about 10,000 US$ per year. Think about that.

Surly there are tons of schools accepting students from all over, however, there are restrictions.\n\nFor example, you need to have a bank statement indicating that you can afford to live in the US for a year.  Which will have to include your tuition, books, living expenses and etc.  The amt is different depending on school.  \n\nSince you mentioned that you cannot afford the expensive tuition, you need a sponsor.  Are your grades good enough to apply for scholarship in China?  If not, you need an American family/company who's willing to sponsor you.\n\nOtherwise, I am not sure how you can come here.\n\nI hope that this is helpful to you.

It depends on the school and the type of aid.  Federal aid is available only to US citizens and permanent residents.  You can still apply for numerous private scholarships if they don't have rules regarding nationality.

First of all is.. You must consult with your Ministry of Education and Foreign Embassies in your country. Just to make sure which colleges and universities that been recognised by your country.\n\nThen, if everything goes well. You could apply traditionally via application form or via online. Some institutions provide direct online application form and it will be much more easier.\n\nIf you wish to study in UK, these would help you a lot

Ordinarily, students attend schools in the district where they reside.  Since schools are generally funded by local property taxes, they do not take student from outside their district unless those students pay tuition, and the better school districts accept very few tuition students.  To become a tuition student you inquire at the district office.\nEach state department of education has a website and generally you can look up facts about schools and school districts.  Generally the better schools are in suburban districts near the larger cities, NOT in the larger cities, and not in rural districts.  Please remember this is a very general idea, and this is not a rule.\nStudents generally take the SAT in the spring of their 11th grade year, however you may register, pay, and take it whenever you wish and as often as you wish.\nSchools set their own entrance requirements for AP classes, ranging from none to a certain mark in a previous course (AP English would probably require a high mark in English or Honors English the previous year).  AP courses are one factor that universities examine when granting admission. I don't know how much their are weighed.  I do know that not all universities grant credit for AP courses.\nYou would also need the correct student visa in order to study.\nI don't understand about TOEFL.  If you are a native speaker of English, I would imagine that you would not need TOEFL to attend a US university, or, if you did, it would be a piece of cake to pass.\nI think that most US public high schools would be reluctant to admit a foreign student unless he or she was an exchange student with an approved exchange organization (which helps take care of the visa and tuition issues)or had become a resident immigrant.\nGood luck in any case.

Getting into a normal american university is not difficult. However, it does require a lot of time and a lot of effort to go through the process.  \nTo get detailed information you need to go to the website of the specific university to which you want to go. Once you are on their website you normally click on the ADMISSION link, or PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS link, or APPLY link. Normally this will take you to a different page where you will find information about FOREIGN APPLICANTS or FOREIGN STUDENTS.  They will give you all the detailed information about what you have to do. However, i will give you a basic idea of the steps that most universities have you take. \n\n1. Go to the TOEFL website at TOEFL.ORG in order to find a location in your country where you can take the TOEFL exam.  ALL american universities will require you to take this exam, it is an exam that tests your English reading, writing and comprehension skills. Most universities will require that you score above a 500 in order to get accepted.\n\n\n2 Apply to the university: this includes filling out the AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT or FINANCIAL SUPPORT papers which your parents or whoever is paying for you will fill out in order to prove that you have the money to pay for tuition. Normally tuition for foreign students will be between 12 and 20 thousand dollars a year for four years.  There will be other forms also that you will have to fill out. \n\n3. Once you get accepted, the university will mail you a letter of acceptance along with other documents that you will take to the United States Embassy or Consulate in your country to apply for a STUDENT VISA.  Getting a STUDENT VISA should NOT be a problem since the university already admitted you and they already verified that you had the money to pay.  \n\n4. Once you get the STUDENT VISA you will then be able to come to the U.S and report yourself to the university's INTERNATIONAL STUDENT OFFICE etc.  They will then tell you other small things that you need to do.  \n\nOverall it is not very complicated to do all these things but they do require time to fill out all the forms, take the TOEFL exam, apply for a STUDENT VISA etc.  \n\nHowever, dont get discouraged or intimidated by all of the procedures and applications you need to fill out. It is a lot easier than it seems (it seems really confusing and scary but really its not that bad) I have helped other people in my family and friends to apply to American Universities and they all were really scared and then later realized that it wasnt as scary as they thought. \n  \np.s \n\nhere is some extra help on how to find out which universities you should go to.  You will have better luck going to State Universities as opposed to Private Universities. Private Universities will charge you up to 10 times more money than a state university.  Most American states have a chain of universities and all are called by the name of their state.  For example, in California there are like 20 universities that are all part of the California chain:\n\nCalifornia State University, Fullerton (the city)\nCalifornia State University, Long Beach\nCalifornia State Univeristy, Los Angeles\netc \netc\n\nevery state has a chain and they are all carry the name of their state along with the city in which they are located. Make sure that the name of the state, as well as the word STATE are in the name so that you are sure they are a state university. For example:  California State University, Arizona State University, Texas State University, Florida State University, etc  State schools will probably be the best choice for you since you can trust that they are liscenced by the government and their degrees are valid around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\nGood luck with everything.

Many U.S. medical schools are state universities, with heavy preference for applicants from the region, with a few outside applicants.  You may have better luck with a private medical school.  \nU.S. med schools accept almost exclusively applicants with a bachelor's degree at minimum, although to be competitive, a master's degree can help.  The MCAT is also necessary for consideration for admission.\nI've met very few international med students in the U.S., most people interested in training here finish med school in their native country, focus on the USMLE (the board exams for residency application) and apply for residency positions through the residency match.  Look into the fifth pathway program.
