<p>but no way rachie, i emailed the colby admission office and asked them abt finaid and they replied that intls get aids just like americans do</p>
<p>thats partly why i applied to colby :p</p>
<p>oops sorry maybe i'm getting it mixed up with somewhere else, i can't think of a good reason then.</p>
<p>I'm in!! Yayyy!! However, their aid was 10000 short of Carleton's... Arghh...</p>
<p>for I<em>track</em>u_down</p>
<p>I am from Assam</p>
<p>does colby offer any merit based scholarships???</p>
<p>Can anyone share the wording of the acceptance letter? Rejection? I am curious as to any stats, as I hope to know how realistic getting of this waitinglist is.</p>
<p>I got into Colby. I am so happy.</p>
<p>Colby does not offer merit aid. They do meet 100% of financial need with a package of loans, work study, and grant.
My daughter got her acceptance letter on Friday. It's always been her first choice and I'm glad that she was accepted.</p>
<p>She didn't apply ED?</p>
<p>I hadnt applied for financial aid earlier? Is there something that can be done now</p>
<p>FishS,
My daughter did not apply ED because of our family finances. She also got accepted at other schools with grant money. But Colby has always been her first choice.</p>
<p>Wowsah, I got 26,000 in grant, I'm SOOO happilicious!!</p>
<p>I also got a 26,000 grant. We're lobbying for more though. Its very complicated dealling with financial aid for U.S. citizens who are permanent residents(paying foreign taxes) abroad.</p>
<p>Congrats!! Hope everything works out for ya! :-)</p>
<p>I got 35K and happy about it!</p>
<p>holy geesums!! Congrats!</p>
<p>congrats to all who I will see next year</p>
