<p>Love MIT, and am completely sure that i will be going there. I think their culture is unique and compliments my needs.
Hope you all get accepted at your dream schools too, for those unlucky, keep trying, cause it will pay off.
Guys, I don't mind sending my essays, but let me tell you that I have read other successful applicants' essays and they are all very different.
With schools like Stanford and MIT, do NOT brag about your achievements in your essays. Save that part for the Lists of ECs, Awards etc. The essay is your only chance to portray your personality. Use it to appear humble. You want to balance your application, by stressing too much on achievements, you appear arrogant and many schools dislike such applicants.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for the essays.</p>
<p>Sid, congratulations!Amazing profile and deserved list of acceptances.
I'd also like to read your essay. PM me, please :)</p>
<p>Congrats Sid! Your accomplishments so far are truly amazing!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Congratulations to all of you who have accepted by your dream schools! Since you were successful and experienced internal applicants, can you help me sort out the following "puzzles"?</p>
<p>1) Rice University says "International applicants must supply documentation of sufficient financial support for their first year of study at Rice before an application for admission can be processed." Does that mean if I don't supply the financial support document with my application altogether, Rice would not even look at my application?</p>
<p>2) University of Southern California says "The United States government requires all international applicants to provide proof of ability to pay tuition and living expenses before a formal letter of admission, or the forms needed for obtaining a visa, can be issued." Does that mean you can get admitted by USC first, but then USA asks you to provide the financial support document, finally they will issue an official admission letter to you after you provide a document with sufficient fund verified?</p>
<p>3) I am just confused about the timing when applicants need to submit the financial support document. I have seen two extremes. University of Chicago clearly indicates that "you do not need to submit any financial documentation with your application. If you are admitted and choose to attend, at that point we will ask you to complete a financial resources statement and provide us with supporting documentation." But Rice University seems to require the document must be there upfront, otherwise there will no admission consideration. So what do most universities usually do about it?</p>
<p>4) For this financial support proof, is parent's employment income considered? I have seen some schools' financial support forms, it seems only bank saving is counted.</p>
<p>Sorry for the lengthy post. I really hope I can learn your experience about it. I have tried send inquiry email to several universities' admission office. So far I haven't got any answers.</p>
<p>msgibs,
My high school counselor was pretty explicit in stating that we needed to send in that international Financial Support form as soon as possible. Mine were all sent in -with- my transcript and stuff, so it was before or at the same time that I applied. You should get it in ASAP. I'm not sure about your question 4, though, sorry.</p>
<p>Anyway:
