International student from Morocco

Hi guys, i am currently a 15 years old Moroccan,2nd year in high school,and i would like to go study business in the usa after i get my high school diploma,whatever so in my country when you are about to get into the 2nd year of high school they ask you to chose a section,there are 3 sections:
-Experimental science(the standard one i guess,and it makes you well rounded in everything)
-economical science(i guess this one is obvious,you are more specialized in economics and you won't study physics and science(what a bliss))
-mathematical science(this is for top students,those who are amazing in maths and physics,they study super hard)
So yeah i chose experimental science after my parents kinda asked me to since it's the "safer" way,my question is which one of those should i chose to be accepted in the business or finance school...?
Also am i obligated to go to a top notch 40000$ a year college to get into the investment banking industry or it's not necessary,because coming from a thirs world country it's kinda too much,i mean my dad is a retired engineer and they get paid pretty well,but it's only relative to our country's lifestyle.
Sorry if this is too long but i would like some kind of response

 

Don't worry about the cost of attending an Ivey League school. Focus on your grades and SAT score. If you are accepted to a school like Harvard you will be eligible for financial aid. I'm not sure how HS school works in your country but to be accepted to a top school in the US you need stellar ECs AND Grades. I would transfer to mathematical science and study my ass off. If you don't graduate at the very top of your class with stellar ECs you have next to no change of attending a top school in the US.

I am in a similar situation to you, just a little older, PM me if you want more info.

I just created my account today so i can not pm anyone for the next two days :'( anyways i am very good at mathematics,but physics is not really my favorite subject,plus the places for mathematical science are quite limited,and now i have very little chance to get accepted there,but experimental science is also good and if you work your ass of you can get accepted at better schools than ms in Morocco,and shouldn't i pass the toefl or something like that?what is the sat is it more important,i am quite good at english and i am planning to take some classes next year to enhance my talking skills.

It is speaking skills not "talking skills" lol . Anyways, the SAT is a test that Amercian Schools use for admissions. Look it up for more info.

Haha my bad,so basically if i pass this sat test,i will get accepted in us colleges?and how about how much do i have to pay for tuition?
 

It is not pass/fail, I believe it is out of 1600. I am not planning on going to an American school so you should look up the details on your own. The tuition is different at each school. Just google it, for example "Harvard undergraduate tuition".
