<p>BOOM MIT Intervieww<< wentt greaaaaatttttt!!!</p>
<p>^ great for you!!!</p>
<p>That’s amazing arif.
One question: Was the interview in Dhaka or Chittagong?</p>
<p>@Darth i dont understand… Reed and Colgate and Bard and Macalester and Hamilton dont give full aid to internatonals. how am i gonna manage that extra $15000 per year? i mean do you plan to take a students’ loan?? and are these colleges really very competitive??</p>
<p>congrats arif!! u r one step closer to ur dream place…</p>
<p>akashdip I guess you are looking at average financial aid awarded. Colgate’s average financial aid is something like 40k so this means some people got more aid than 40k.</p>
<p>Also no university in US gives full ride to internationals. They determine financial need through financial documents and how they determine need is not always the same as how much you can pay and it varies from school to school.</p>
<p>anyone here already filled out the ISFAA? this form isnt college specific, ryt? I mean 1 form can be submitted to all colleges who ask for it, is it?</p>
<p>ISFAA is college specific. Some colleges like MIT, Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, Vanderbilt want ISFAA while some like Brown, Duke, Stanford wants CSS profile. On the other hand, some schools have their own fin aid applications. However you can use the same form for schools that require/accepts ISFAA.</p>
<p>FYI ISFAA is just the paper version of CSS for international students.</p>
<p>well my parents’ income is somewhere between $20000-$25000. do i qualify for anything at all??</p>
<p>Look your income isn’t important here. What is important here is how much expenditure you have and how much after all these expenditures, you can pay. Then are of course the special circumstances such a family member in medication. </p>
<p>When you are going to apply, make sure you apply to get accepted. If colleges take you, they love you and if they love you, they will woo you with best financial aid available. So chill. Bottom line is you have to get accepted first.</p>
<p>FYI other than the 6 need blind schools, Ivy League and Stanford, most schools take something like 10-30 internationals per year who are awarded aid. So you can understand how tough the competition is.</p>
<p>yeah thanks. anyway what else will i be applying for other than to get accepted. i aint got dollars to spend like dirt. however ill definitely apply to harvard and yale and dartsmouth and mit just so. worth it. its upto them whether they take me or not. if i get in, no complaints here. if i dont get in, they will regret their decision. as simple as that.</p>
<p>“Reed and Colgate and Bard and Macalester and Hamilton dont give full aid to internatonals.”</p>
<p>Reed indeed gives full needed aid to internationals, but to very few.</p>
<p>^ thanks for the info. couldnt find anything much in their site.</p>
<p>@darthspawnus-the bottom line is: if college X AND college Y both accept ISFAA, u can fill out only one form and send it to both colleges.i hope i got it correct!
also, if u r looking into bard, do they exempt toefl? i did not find any criteria, so emailed them but havent got the reply yet.</p>
<p>wow. solving linear equations in two variables!! or is it quadratic in two variables??!!:D</p>
