College in the US

Maybe look at Australian university also. Wollongong uni is ranked in the top 300 in the world last I checked.
Might not have the name recognition of Harvard but how many universities are there in the world, top 300 seems like a massive achievement.
Campus in different locations including Dubai I believe.
Yeah we have decent ones here, but I want the best for her, I don't give a *kitten* about cost.

I would not ask my child to later attend a University in the U.S.A. It's going to be too expensive and the quality is not the same as it use to be. Some of the campuses are not very safe either.
I would look at tuition-free Universities in other countries or at least those that offer good financial assistance for tuition, housing, etc. for foreigners. From what I've been told, some countries offer more assistance/oppourtunities to foreigners than to their own citizens.1 -

Why do you think the places in the States are going to provide the best education for her goals? Are you basing your thoughts on what you see on TV and in movies?1 -
Don't they get academic scholarships though?
The way I know is Sports Scholarship, Academic, Money or you know somebody.
Not sure if Harvard gives full sports scholarships. Academics, yes, but your kid will need to be a certified genius to qualify lol.
Honestly, your posts are coming across as more boasting about yourself, vs showing true concern for your child's college education. Google is your friend. It can be used for more than finding porn. Given good search criteria, it can fiend all sorts of information on American universities and their criteria, and competition, for admission.

Usually around 18. I started at 17 but turned 18 in December. That was normal.Can I pay now to reserve a spot for my kid (she's 4) at one of the best ones like Havard?
No.What are the best ones in terms of Finance, Business or Economics?
It varies, I wouldn't predict 14 years in advance, and the best US schools (IMO) don't tend to specialize that much in college -- finance or business would be a business school (post BA/BS) degree for the most part if you are aiming for the most competitive/biggest bang on the resume schools. Econ is a standard social science major that any liberal arts school will have, though.
18? That's way too young. Can they go at like 21 or 25?
what would your kid be doing between 18-25. finish high school around 18 and have a 7 year gap year? work?

You cannot reserve your spot at Harvard, nor any other American university lol. That's not how it works here, at all.
Not sure if Harvard gives full sports scholarships. Academics, yes, but your kid will need to be a certified genius to qualify lol.
Anything is possible, she could turn out to be a Genius.Honestly, your posts are coming across as more boasting about yourself, vs showing true concern for your child's college education.
That is more to do with your perception vs reality.Google is your friend.
No it isn't.

What if she thinks her cousins are a-holes, hates flying and would rather go to the local beauty college straight after school in order to become a beautician?
Why are so caught up in planning your daughters future? The world will be a very different place then.2 -

She loves flying. I have taken her to Sydney, Hawaii and L.A and she is not even 4 yet.livingleanlivingclean wrote: »and would rather go to the local beauty college straight after school in order to become a beautician?
If she has a passion for it, I'm happy.livingleanlivingclean wrote: »Why are so caught up in planning your daughters future?
Nothing is set in stone, I just want her to have options.livingleanlivingclean wrote: »The world will be a very different place then.
Until we get hover boards, the world will always be the same.

The U.S. will probably not be the best country for your daughter to study in 14 years. Even if it is, you need to wait until she is a senior in high school or graduated before applying to universities here. Good luck!0
