<p>Hey guys, long time! @Eatyoualive: Got into mcgill too mechanical primary, electrical second choice lol:), but scholarships a big problem for me too. I didn’t apply for the major scholarship, but isn’t there another entrance scholarship and some minor alumni scholarships? I read about them on the website, n they said you don’t need to fill out any extra applications. Any chance at having a shot at them, and if so, when do they usually send out notices?
@RoughE: I had my Columbia interview on Jan 28th via phone (coz I couldn’t go to dhaka)</p>
<p>Last year, a friend of mine was waitlisted at Columbia. He was interviewed by a Columbia alum at Westin (LOL). He told me almost anyone who applied to Columbia got an interview. If you didn’t get one, most probably the alum isn’t at BD anymore.</p>
<p>UChicago doesn’t hold interviews in BD.</p>
<p>Yeah thats why I was confused… I thought everyone who applies gets an interview. I guess the alumni left. And everyone I asked said they got interviewed by the same guy at Westin, so maybe there is just one interviewer in Bangladesh.</p>

<p>This is all they have…and I guess they are supposed to send out the 3000$ scholarship notice with the application, or in a few days after you receive your decision.</p>
<p>I’m still bitter at not being able to attend just because of the money. so effing bitter.</p>
<p>@Eatyoualive: There is this finaid thing u can apply for in minerva, did u see that? Its in the finaid menu, asks for css profile n an additional app. U can apply for that, although I dunno how much they would give internationals. Did u apply for the major scholarship?</p>
