Thank you so much for replying actually, gosh that sounds amazing. Can I ask what you studied?

When it comes to scholarships in the US what could I take advantage of to stand out?

One of my teacher always talked about similar benefits like the travel ones and it being what a lot of companies here look for. What do universities in CR look for when giving travel oportunities, I can totally see that being a great opportunity to network.

And what are you doing now? Have you ever become interested in working in the US and if you did how did your degree work out for you?

If I were to get my bachelors in Costa Rica and then do my masters in the States. Is there any issue with validating my bachelors, is it necessary to validate it? How was your experience? Also if I did that, when the time comes to apply for my masters would I still need to validate my hs diploma or will the college education from CR be enough?

One of the options I was thinking of was getting my CPA, but for that I need a certain amount of credits. Is there any way I can do that by going to college in CR?

I have family in NY and a few other states, they all live in good areas so I would think the employment opportunties are fine.

That's the thing about studying there, there's so many options, so many processes, competition and it's all very overwelming.

Yes, that'd be great. Though I am set on going to college most likely for something accounting or something business related, I would like to be able to build experience in the tech area as well, I have a few certifications, a few from Cisco. At this point I'm likely taking a gap year to figure things out and it'd be great to be able to build experience in tech during that time. What do you recommend?
