which state you are in? Yes you need to show the proof of financial statement. It is mandated by the law.No statement no I 20 issuance.Take summer semester somehow,then transfer to other school soon. 650*9=5850+ other fees,around 6300/semester.That's kinda high for us when you dont have GA, will they offer you assistantship after you enroll? most universities have that policy,depends on your major and the goodwill you build with the faculty members once you are in.Take that as an option as well,good luck.
