Hi I apply RD to Drexel and i’m worried that I will not receive any merit scholarship and financial aid ( css/international stud(
since Drexel is a very expensive school to go to
Here’s my stats:
GPA ( weighted): 3.7(91), I attended 9th and 10th grade in my country which has different grading system so the grades there kinda lower my overall gpa ( 98/100 for 11th and 12th)
New SAT score: Math: 730, Reading 650 (1380)
Courses: Physics( Honors, my school doesn’t have AP physics), AP Calculus, AP Govt, and AP English Lit
For the need-based financial aid: my parents’ income is around 60k and do the income and other money-related things on my css profile affect my chance of admission?
No they don’t, and I think this is not enough information to predict anything.
Plus, you will definitely get some merit scholarships and need grants but can’t tell how much.
Drexel is such an expensive school that’s why im so worried right now since its my favorite one
Btw, do u think co-op will reduce the cost? If so how much can co-op reduce?Thanks for ur reply.
No really, they will probably help with your off campus housing.
If finance was a issue, you should have applied early decision to aim for those scholarships.
I think you will definitely receive aid, though I am not sure how much. But I have an international student friend who is around your stat, and she receive around $30,000 in financial aid. For co-op, it depend on what is your major. If you do a 5 year, 3 co-op especially in lucrative area such as business or engineering or compcsi, u can earn around $40,000 - $50,000 in total. Also, if u stay off campus, ur cost will go down.
