Which is an easier method to study in the US? Being a transfer student, or applying with SAT from scratch?
I'm currently enrolled in METU, one of the best schools in Turkey. If I wanted to continue the rest of my undergraduate course in the US, which one of these is the better option to follow? Also, I would be glad if you could give details for financial aid for both of the options.

I hope in our current financial situation ($12 trillion in debt and counting with obama spending like a drunken sailor) we aren't giving financial aid to foreigners...if you come here please be prepared to pay your own way...we have enough people sucking off the government teats, we don't need anymore, especially foreigners.

Try to do the easiest. I would do SAT.

It is usually easier to get in as a transfer student. You already have a collegiate record, and schools like to see that. Starting from scratch looking like a new student doesn't look as appealing to them. Which colleges were you thinking about? There is still a lot of financial aid available...especially if you are a minority, posess a special skill, or are going into a certain field (a lot of specialized fields (ex: microbiology especially DNA study) offer full scholerships) The best way to get information from the colleges you are considering is to call them. Their councelors are amazingly well educated on grants, scholerships, and financial aid.
