<p>I'm a freshman at Northwestern, and since we are only 5-6 Bulgarians here, I wanted to know if anyone is willing to join our group here next year.</p>
<p>Hi from Bulgaria! I really like Northwestern but they have very limited financial aid for international students this year and the Financial Aid Application fee can't be waived :( Anyway, do you like it there?</p>
<p>"Hi from Bulgaria! I really like Northwestern but they have very limited financial aid for international students this year and the Financial Aid Application fee can't be waived "</p>
<p>Not quite true. There were 3 Bulgarians admitted with adequate financial aid packages last year (including myself), although it was the first year Northwestern gave fin aid to internationals, and they only awarded 10 people - we had more people with fin aid than any other nation in the world (excluding the States of course). So Bulgarians have something like a 30 % quota of the fin aid :)
And the application fee CAN BE WAIVED!</p>
<p>"Anyway, do you like it there?"
It's pretty nice, especially if majoring in Econ, HPME or Journalism - it's tops in that fields.</p>
<p>read the "How to apply" part. That's crazy! I have to give money in order to ask for money!</p>
<p>Any other Bulgarians?</p>
<p>Does it happen that they admit more than one Bulgarian to the same university and give them all fin aid?</p>
<p>Yep. Actually many Bulgarians apply to US colleges. I think there are currently about 3000 Bulgarians studying there - undergraduates and graduates.</p>
<p>:))) is right. Many of the top schools admit more than one Bulgarian and they give full aid to all of them, but it really depends on the university, on its policy and resources.</p>
<p>For some reason, we at Washington and Lee University have a lot of Bulgarians (apparently they're all from the same high school in Sofia).</p>
<p>I'm from Bulgaria too,though i don't live in Sofia.Is there any forum with greater Bulgarian presence???</p>
<p>which schools r u applying to ?</p>
<p>so we're only 3? :(</p>
<p>3 on CC... and maybe 1-2 thousand more all around bulgaria :)</p>
<p>Man i think that the number is more like 4-5 thousand.</p>
<p>woow is there such statistics ?</p>
<p>yep, it is really around 4 thousand, but don't despair guys...just show them how unique you are and you will do fine.</p>
<p>good luck!!!</p>
