Hi!
I am currently a student of Class XI and My Aunt lives In US.
She applied for our Immigration way back in 1990s and the Application has Matured now. So we can avail a Green Card in 2-3 Months.
BUT
We are trying to delay it till i Complete my 12th from India and Then have a go at IITJEE. If i secure a good rank then i complete B.Tech from IIT and then pursue my Masters In US.
BUT
If i do not get good rank then i give SAT/TOEFL and then pursue higher studies in US.
So could you provide some info on That?

I'm sorry, I don't haf much info about SAT. If you want information about TOEFL you can check out the first part of the guide.

As for SAT, you can check out www.ets.org for official details. ETS is the organization which conducts exams like SAT, TOEFL, GRE etc.

Awesome end to the series. Hats off you you.

BTW, you mentioned your experiences being "Good, Bad and Ugly" there right ? Care to give us a summary of each one of the three categories ?

Is there no bachelors degree on Industrial Design

In this economy I see it as an expensive business to pursue your Bachelors in the US unless you haf loads of cash to spend for the 4 year program. Hence, the question.

is it net cost or is it cost after you deduct expenses covered for by on-campus jobs ?
how much are you able to earn by on-campus jobs ?
does your internship allow you to earn something ? how much ?

1) It is the estimated net cost. It may vary from place to place, university to university and year to year.
2) I don't work on-campus but I guess you can earn anywhere from $150-400 a month depending on the job.
3) Not all internships are paid. Mine is; I can cover a semester's fees by working for 3 months.
