    This is the video that I need for starting my undergraduate journey and I have continuously searched for this video overall on the internet. I requested some of the people to make this but no one make a video on this. A HUGE THANKS from my side for this video. And through your guidance, I think I can get admitted to an Ivy League University😊❤👍

      If you are applying this month that means you are applying for Fall 2023, you should have just entered 12th standard.. If you apply after finishing 12th or just finishing 12th or just gave 12th board exams - you will be considered to be in a gap year! and yes AP exams are something that universities look at, could be an interesting topic for a video!

    Hi saloni. Recently got to gain info regarding admissions abroad and your videos were super helpful. Just wanted to know if CSS profile is needed for students planning for pursue masters and what are the ways people can also get financial aid for masters students?

    • @CrazyMedusa
      @CrazyMedusa  2 роки тому

      Nope, masters are not eligible for need-based aid via CSS, they will have to fund their studies through RAs and TAs, in most cases if you choose the thesis route for masters, you will be paid a monthly stipend to cover atleast the living expenses. Again, some masters programs might have merit based scholarships!

    Great video!
    I have one particular question. I live in Argentina, and we are currently on a huge economical crisis (they're becoming quite common, actually) and there are a lot of restrictions for currence exchange, and there are many different exchange rates, for example the National Bank dollar is 200 pesos, but if you do exchange at a bank, you have to pay a 100% tax so it's 400 pesos (but you can only buy 200 dollars each month). The free dollar (which is technically illegal, but mostly used to consider the exchange rate) is around 375 pesos. To sum up, there are around 40 very different exchange rates with more than a 100% difference between one another. This doesn't happen in a normal country, do you think they will take that into consideration? Which rate do you think they'll use? Because if they use the official rate, it's really not useful, because if my parents need to send me money, they will have to pay around the double. Also, we have a really high inflation (around 100%), so my family's incomes were around 5000 dollars 5 years ago, but now they are around 500 dollars, even though (hopefully) our lifestlye hasn't changed that much. My point is that you cannot predict how much they will earn in dollars, because with inflation, different salaries rages and all the dollar situation. And, therefore, you cannot estimate how much they will be able to help me with college. Do they take these situations in mind? Can I clarify this somewhere?
    Thank you for reading... like your video it was also quite long 😁

    • @CrazyMedusa
      @CrazyMedusa  Рік тому +3

      from what i gathered, i just want to remind you that the information you fill in the CSS won't be in dollars, it will be in your own currency, after which each university will probably have their own formula that financial aid officers use so it's very hard for us to estimate :)

    Hello. Thank you a lot for the video!
    I was searching for the guidance in the field of reporting parents’ official income statements. The thing is that my dad’s income is totally unofficial. Basically, he gets most of the salary by cash, it works like some sort of tips. And the documentation from his company says that the official income of his is literally 100$ per month, which is, of course, ridiculous. Indeed, it works this way, so his company wouldn’t pay taxes for the real salaries of employees. Neither my dad nor I even know the precise numbers of the actual income.
    As a first-year student, I’m totally confused. What do I do in this case? Should I mention it in the additional information section or something?
