We cannot PM you as you are a basic member but what college do you prefer? Will a community college suit you?

What is your question?

There's nothing personal against you. Most people don't generally add random guy on Internet to their messenger.

If you're embarrassed about grades or your major (career choice), then just mention what it is that you'd like to know without having to mention either one of these two? I'm assuming you're residing in Pakistan. If that is the case and you're wondering about financial issues and international tuition rates, it is best you email the head supervisors of the universities you wish to apply to. They usually have competent people on the sites who get back to your emails within a reasonable amount of time.

Would you prefer a university then??? They are expensive.

@shiaben: actually its not about grades or any of the other reasons, due to which I'm not willing to discuss openly, and thanks for the email idea

What program are you interested in? Undergraduate or graduate?

There's generally some funding for graduate program but almost none for undergraduate. Also there's more funding opportunities for someone who is pursuing a degree in science than in liberal arts. Also keep in mind that you would be competing with people from all over the world, so it's going to be tough. You've got to have something that would stand out from others. Test scores required for admission (like the GRE) are looked at closely to evaluate a potential candidate for funding.

I'm interesred in undergraduate programs in computer science.
I do have some extraordinary achievements in computers, which makes me stand out everywhere, and recently I applied to Harvard's secondary school program and got accepted!
But couldn't go because they ran out of on campus housing :/

Generally, they require freshman to stay on campus.

So, would you be going in the spring semester since they ran out of campus housing for fall?

[jawadamin3]

It was the ssp!, its like a two month+ semester in which they select talented highschool students and the students attend college/university level classes according to the course/subject they choose for which they get grades and college credit.
Currently i'm in the senior year of highschool, which means I have to apply for college by december
