Sometimes we folks responding ask questions for clarification, and I think that is OK.

The same questions often get asked because the same type of vagueness around cost constraints or weighted GPA gets posted frequently. It would help others help the OPs if the OPs can be nudged to provide clearer information in the first post.

Previous revisions of the template have addressed similar issues. For example, back when the template did not start with domestic/international student status, there were many threads where it was not revealed that the OP was an international student until many posts in, making previous replies inaccurate.
