I wish you all the best.
Thanks, I am a Russian living in the US.

The problem is, even with my 4.6 GPA and a load of other achievements, my non-citizen status prevents me from being eligible for about 95% of the scholarships, grants, etc. If I was an American, I could have chance with a scholarship from the lower-level Ivy League schools. But with my status and the economic situation, it will take plenty of things to get me into a good Uni. Of course, I can also go back to Russia, but the education system there is too rigorous and I fear I grew too soft to ever go back there. Mainly mathematics though. Calculus is taught in junior high back in my country - and I loathe maths.
