Since I'm not a US citizen (I live in Japan), the college fee will be expensive. Probably can not be offered with a scholarship because again, I'm not an American citizen. However, I fell in love with Las Vegas ever since I visited there, and I'm thinking of majoring in film. I also love boxing and is currently doing competitive boxing, so I wanted a college that's located in Vegas, that has a film course and has a college boxing club; then I found UNLV and I was like "FUCK YEAH!" Anyways, I was wondering what are my chances of enrolling in UNLV. I heard it is not a college that is hard to get into, and for additional information my grades were pretty bad, however I'm starting off strong this semester so if I keep this work up I might get good grades. I'm thinking of taking the following IB courses: High Level Japanese Language and Literature Standard Level Economics High Level Biology High Level Theatre High Level English Literature Standard Level Mathematics Might change SL English to HL but I'm not sure yet. My school is not really "linked" with Japanese colleges so most of the graduates goes overseas, say Europe, Hawaii, America and whatnot. Any information regarding UNLV, financial aids, IB/SAT requirements, etc. would be much appreciated.... Read More »
