RE: THE TRAUMA OF BEING REJECTED FROM HARVARD, YALE, AND UPENN; THE DISCOVERIES AND THE JOURNEY SO FAR.....
Hey @optimistic thanks for sharing your story and your struggles.
I hope Steemit helps you get to where you need to be.
One thought I had on reading your post was, why not come to New Zealand? If you can get accepted by American colleges, you can probably get accepted by New Zealand universities.
It's much cheaper to live and study here and you can get a first class education that will take you anywhere you want to go.
With your attitude however, I'm sure no matter what happens, you'll do well, and I wish you all the best.
Hello @trevor.george,
Thanks for taking the time to write back to me and I appreciate your best wishes and advice.
I would love to give New Zealand a try; It will be a great privilege for me to be in New Zealand. However, New Zealand Universities might be cheaper but I think it might be expensive than Ghanaian Universities yet I dropped out here because I could not afford $789 tuition fees per year.. I considered US hoping I could get full scholarship but it didn't go the way I had expected.
Nonetheless, am certainly going to consider applying to as many as I possibly can but if they require TOEFL score then it might take me longer to apply since the TOEFL test is expensive. But if they waive it for Ghanaian nationals just like some US colleges, then I should be ready to apply.
Also, if you don't mind, I would want to know if international students have the opportunity to work while studying and are they also allowed to work during vacations.?
Thanks...
