<p>Hi Gang!!</p>
<p>Does any of you guys is in 3+2 dual degree engineering program currently transferred or in the process of transferring. Where did you guys go? How did they generally treat financially for those international transfer students? I am looking forward to transfer to WuSTL or Columbia. Please provide me any suggestion.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot...</p>
<p>Hey anybody in the know about this question.. please reply</p>
<p>Fianancial Aid is very unlikely at places like Columbia
and RPI, Caltech etc dont give aid to intels under this program</p>
<p>WustL gives aid, but its usually limited, and it averages around 15,000 dollars but i emailed them and they told me that your expenses will be around 25,000 a year.. provided u keep ur lifestyle veryy frugal</p>
<p>Dartmouth has aid under the 2-1-1-1 program for the last year ONLY. All other years are financed by the LAC.</p>
<p>But i suggest that if you are relying on aid, dont take the risk of joining a college just for the 3-2 program. Aid is available, but its quite rare and u dont want to feel depressed if u cant make it because of finances.</p>
<p>In case you dont need full aid, you can consider Minnesota's 3-2 because you get an automatic tuition reducation - making ur tuition 150% of in-state. You can then take up loans or something</p>
<p>Hope this helps. I'm in a similar dilemma. I was wondering, can one do BA. in Chem from Macalester and then do ChemEngineering masters from another university easily? would the non-accredited chemistry-engineering at Washington and Lee be better option ?</p>
<p>aah.. i m in a similar dilemna.. I can do a BA in comp sci from colgate and then grad school.. but will I be at a disadvantage at the good grad schools cause I have a BA and not BS??
personally I feel u r better off at Macalester because a non-accredited degree is worthless..</p>
<p>i think if u intend to go to grad school, there wont be much difference between a BA. and BS. Ask colgate about grad school placements for CS majors.</p>
