American Applicants 2015

The approval time doesn't take very long. I'd wait until after applying and receiving federal aid, if you're going that route, to minimize the amount you need to take out with a private loan.

So, Durham let me change my course to French and History.
Probably going to firm them soon

Wait. I thought you were doing law?

Sorry to barge in, but if FAFSA says we don't need any aid am I screwed? Because FAFSa kinda analyzes us wrong...

I deflected over heh! I do want to ultimately practice law, but I wanted to make sure I was studying something I'm 100% passionate about at uni. I can always go back to the US for law school, or go through with the Graduate Diploma in Law (9 month course that converts your degree to a law degree) if I want to practice law in the UK.

No. There's still private loans. FAFSA won't cover everything anyway.



I fully support your decision to do French and History! So you're firming Durham?

Most likely. I'm also going to apply to German universities (I'm fluent in German) since they're tuition fee free. The stupid thing is that their application period opens in like a month, so if a German uni accepts me, I'll most likely go to one of those. But Durham's course is so great too, ahh I'm so indecisive hah

I was thinking of Germany for my masters....or France because I speak (ish) French

That is so exciting! How is it free? I'm envious of you though!



I'm thinking Italy for mine.

I wonder if the credits/degree from a UK school would be easier to interpret than those from an American school...Like if there would be an advantage to going to school in the UK for taking a European master's.

I'm not sure. I assume plenty of universities have had students from all over the world and know how to read various transcripts.

True, but I wonder if US degrees have a different "value" than others, like how some US students have to take a foundation year in the UK

(almost) All universities in Germany are public and free. Germany, unlike some places, *cough* America. It'd be great to graduate completely debt free.

That's pretty awesome! What will you apply for at those universities?

[h="1"]yourgirlbribri, That's great! [/h]
I've recently applied for a poetry scholarship and will submit to another one over the weekend. I've also started a GoFundMe account to help for school. I hope things work out by the time July/August rolls around!

Guys I don't want to get overly hopeful, but I may be able to go in Fall after all! I don't know how I didn't realize this before, but I can use my Mom's bank account in addition to mine. With Fafsa I might be able to have enough funds to get my Visa. Hopefully, I get the scholarship from Kent.
