International Student from India...Parents refusing to pay for US education?
Hi...please dont be rude. I am a HS student in India. I have had an exceptionally good academic record and i have applied to many US universities. The problem is that i dont go along too well with my parents reg this aspect. My father's a doctor and wants me to become one and IN THE SAME COLLEGE AS HIM... thats frustrating...and US colleges require a financial declaration showing about $32000 in Liquid...i have the amount in Fixed deposit, bequeathed by my grandfather...but i dont know if colleges accept that. And my mom's not helping either because she feels i may abandon the family if i immigrate in future. It is possible for my dad to file the affidavit but he doesn't want to...because i wanna go into research...and i had a major manic depression thing in the last year, attempted suicide...I just wanna get away from these people i am forced to call family. Colleges wont give me decisions until i show the money, nor can i get a visa...banks in our country wont issue loans until i show proof of admission...i am frustrated... And the deadline is just less than a month away...my life is devastated ;( P.S TOEFL iBT...102/120 my parents still didnt bother to ask why i took the test... Please God dont give children to ppl who dont deserve them...

If you have fixed assets then you will have to sell those assets to have the required liquid assets. There is no way around it since clearly the banks will not give you a loan until you are enrolled in a college, and you cannot enrol in college until you can show them you have cash assets. Don't give up. Life is too precious. We all have to deal with parents who can stand in our way. If you can, sell your fixed assets. This will open the door to freedom for you. Hope this helps.
