<p>i was referring to merit-based aid as scholarships ... if 15 get scholarships, then 50 get LOANS? for the ENTIRE cost?</p>
<p>Loans means u need to return the cash back.
Scholarship means u get to kepp the cash forever, Now, among the int'l pool most guys get their need met in the form of loans...but a few, who demonstrate great need or are really brilliant(yes, academics is a criterion to a certain extent in giving **international[/b[ scholarship) u get a schoalrship.</p>
<p>but isnt putting yourself in a $150,000 debt suicide?</p>
<p>and could you also tell me whether there is any interest in these cornell loans</p>
<p>Getting a loan is no way suicidal. Its actually a boon. After taking a 4yr loan, you work for 2yrs and pay-off the loan. Now when you apply for MBA, uve got job-experience too.
Interest accumalates after you graduate i think.</p>
<p>hey waleedk87, the same wendy schaerer told me that of abut 200 studetns applying for aid, 15 receive it.
so mhm... i guess the only sure thing is that HYP are the one that give most financial aid ...
on another topic..anybody know how generous stanford is?</p>
<p>Stanford is as stingy as UPenn, if not more...
The only place bloody lenient with aid is P'ton.</p>
<p>All my statistics on Cornell and UPenn are compiled from "Princeton Review's Best 361 Colleges in America".</p>
<p>If you've any concerns about the reliability of their info, you should check out that book.</p>
<p>Also, Cornell Ed 43%/UPenn Ed 34% Admissions Rate is not JUST for the class of 2010, but rather a mean (average) for their Ed rates from preceding years up to 2006.</p>
<p>Arjun Shankar... Calm Down. Also, always mix a patch of grain and salt when you are considering the "official" statistics released by admissions officers.:)</p>
<p>hahahahaha</p>
<p>bump..........</p>
