<p>Hi! I am applying to Jacobs this year, and have almost completed all my application now. Anybody else applying too? I heard that it's getting more and more difficult to get in because the applicant number nearly doubles every year.</p>
<p>Did you do your SAT?</p>
<p>I am applying :)</p>
<p>Bremen is a wonderful city! My family lived there for the summer of 2010.</p>
<p>@racheal52 @prostozina Hey guys I did the SAT for twice, but the scores are just so-so… What about yours?</p>
<p>@SmileAMile Then are you considering the university? The stats look quite good for a young university.</p>
<p>I’m taking SAT for the second time this Saturday, so don’t know about the scores yet.</p>
<p>Where are you from?</p>
<p>@prostozina I am from China. You? For me it’s just so exciting to meet people from around the world. The global diversity of Jacobs is something that really fascinates me.</p>
<p>Then Good luck to you~</p>
<p>I’m from Russia 
The same here - I also love diversity :D</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>@prostozina Are you applying in ED? The staffs sent me an email informing that the decision will be available around Dec.15th</p>
<p>Your teachers submitted your recommendations yet?@Stevenlyan</p>
<p>No, I’m applying by Round I.</p>
<p>Good luck to you! :)</p>
<p>Are you applying anywhere else?</p>
<p>@racheal52 Yup I think my transcript and recommendations have arrived at Jacobs in late October. I complete all sections of the application except FA application. The FA staffs said it’s okay that the materials arrive a few days after the Nov.1st deadline.</p>
<p>@prostozina How did you do today? I also apply to several LAC in the US and some universities in Singapore, like SMU and YALE-NUS. The latter is a new university opening this fall. But Jacobs is my first choice anyway. What about You?</p>
<p>Whats does FA mean by the way?</p>
<p>@racheal52 FA=Financial Aid. Well perhaps you don’t need any, but my family cannot afford the tuition fee all by our own. So I apply for it.</p>
<p>How do you apply for it? Of course I want. I think I included that in my common application, correct me if there’s an additional</p>
<p>@racheal52 You can go to Jacobs’ website and complete the online application for FA. Some supporting documents concerning your family’s financial circumstance are required. They will provide you a financial aid package, which consists of scholarship, grants, loans and family contribution, some days after the admission result is notified. I heard that the grants only make up a very small part of the package, but Jacobs will offer quite large an amount of merit-based scholarship.</p>
<p>@Stevenlyan: did you apply using the online application or the Common App?</p>
<p>@racheal52 The online application. Because I did not plan to apply to so many colleges so I did not use the Common App.</p>
