<prompt> Human: Im a senior in High School from Europe. My dream was to attend college in the United States, and I applied to some. With my 3.8 GPA, I got into several top colleges in three states and even a community one, none of which I want to reveal here for reasons. I was really expecting to get a full tuition scholarship based on merit, community service and extracurricular experiences from one of them, but I just got told did not get into that program. I cant really believe it, because I filed a very long and elaborated application, and had a lot to say about all I did during High School. It was truly a disappointment. There are some more scholarships I am eligible for, but even if I got all of them, it would not make up for even half of the tuition I am asked for almost 60k. This case applies pretty similarly to every single college I got into. The community college is much cheaper, but does not offer international financial aid. I wouldnt want to get my parents 60k or 200k dollars into debt at all, but I see no other choice other than giving up. I was wondering if anyone here can give me any advice, because this is one of the worst days of my life and I dont know what I am gonna do in the future.  <response>: For international students a lot of schools really want you to pay full price. You dont qualify for most US financial aid, since its aimed at US citizens.What are the college choices in your home country? Could you study there for most of the time, and spend a semester in the US?
