<p>Got into Penn and CU- I know that Penn usually covers total need-based financial aid- </p>
<p>anyone has an idea about columbia? are they pretty generous with grants?..</p>
<p>Recently Columbia has moved to be more like HYP with their FA. This probably means their FA package will be better than Penn’s. I assume you were taken off a waitlist? Did they tell you when the award package will arrive?</p>
<p>no i got admitted not too long ago (transfer student) for fall 2011- was never on the waitlist.
I think i’m gonna hear from both in about a week, but i’m wondering if i should spend the $500 for the commitment form before i found out about FA.</p>
