So adventurous of you to apply abroad from the Philippines, something I would have never thought to do. My family immigrated when I was 15 so that’s the only reason I applied to U.S. schools.

How much did you spend? I'm also a Filipino student who wants to go to US college too but I have financial problems.

[@otisblake7385]

You can apply for a fee waiver some University allows international to apply, you won't have to pay for admission fee

[@RManaois]

Hellooo tysm! I decided to commit to Ateneo 💙🦅

[@wht.hwk_3886]

Ate how did you pay for your application fee for those colleges? Last time I checked it ranges from 70 to 80 dollars, I'm using the common app btw.

[@RManaois]

Hii! I just paid all through card huhu but I regret spending so much money on that :') My mindset was charge to experience but it's better to be realistic on acceptance rates and practical on affordability and aid available 😭 I'm hoping for the best for you!!

[@mariafrancescahojilla4856]

Can you give us a tutorial of how you applied to UC Berkeley?

[@RManaois]

Hii! Applications are alr open hehe just make an account here: admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/apply-now.html Just a heads up tho that they don’t offer any financial aid to international students 🥲
