I'll upload it later, my Internet is really slow at the moment (Could an undersea cable possibly be affected by today's Japan earthquake? It happened when there was the Taiwan earthquake). To make matters worse, I'm downloading some torrents heheh. Downloading movies to watch with gf.

Anyway, I found some links on Google to get the eBook for free - I can't share it here though, it's against forum rules to share pirated stuff.

It's okay, you can ask anything haha, I'm more than glad to share my experience as well as help others.

You're welcome. The other 'Studying in the US' threads were pretty much dead last year - I couldn't find many people who were the least helpful at all. I intend to keep this thread alive so that more people can come in and access as well as pool information.

I did apply for financial aid, but they'll get back to the students later for this. The fundings for my education are from my parents. We had to sell off one of our old houses.
