Im an australian, and want to go to college in US(preferably UCLA.)?

Question

i live in australia (im 14) and i want to go to UCLA when im older. i dont know if this is one of my petty dreams or think it can actually happen. what i need to know is, would they accept an australian with moderate or average grades? would i need to get a visa or greencard. I also really wanna live in america before i go to college but we have no reason to go other than "I want to" so are there easy ways to live in america perminantly? Please answer. it is my dream to go to an american college.

Answer 1

if you are a student its pretty easy to get a visa. UCLA is a decent school, its a pretty fun school, it accepts about a quarter of its applicants. For an american they need decent grades and decent SAT scores, so I assume that would be the same standard for an austrailian. most colleges. Most students are from the state of california. See:
