<p>Anyone??</p>
<p>On my commonapp, theres a line where i have to tick whether i'd need a merit-scholarship to attend CMU, and I ticked yes. Does that mean I might get some kind of aid in my packet from CMU?</p>
<p>Oh, and im an internatl btw.....and it says that internationals have to pay the full tuition fees, so im really confused...</p>
<p>on commonapp it says:</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon does not provide need-based financial assistance to international students. As an international student would you require a merit scholarship?</p>
<p>and i said yes...</p>
<p>Im an international who asked for a merit scholarship too. I would like to help but my admission decision letter STILL hasnt reached me :( It should reach by the end of this week (according to the admissions office)
Whatever the website says, I think there should be some sort of award for us. Just hope and Ill let you know as soon as I get the fat letter!</p>
<p>yep! same here :S i think cmu is the only one that hasnt got its fat letter through to those accepted yet...</p>
<p>They post the financial aid info online in the "where am i in the process." haha, i just saw it today. I didn't get any merit scholarship, though I'm sure they give them (my cousin got one a few years ago when he applied). I got a large grant though which now makes carnegie mellon attend-able for me. I'm sure without merit aid you'd get a good amount of money (excluding loans that have to be repaid) though.</p>
<p>thing is that CMU doesnt give aid to international students. Question is if they give merit scholarships to us internationals cos the situation seems really unclear................................STILL NO FAT LETTER!!!</p>
<p>apparently the fat letter is enjoying a tour around the world and isn't about to arrive anytime soon...</p>
<p>maybe you guys can call them and ask if they will tell you personally? I mean you could tell them you need to know soon to make a decision on which school to attend and you have no idea when your package will arrive?</p>
<p>Already did........they said it should reach by the end of the week otherwise theyd fax it. Its just annoying cos everyone else has got theirs haha...........</p>
<p>I think Merit Scholarships and financial aid are starting to come in now. I just got a $2300 Presidential Scholarship. Apparently last year’s average Presidential Scholarship was $6000. My amount is rather insignificant out of the $50000+ cost of attendance, but I guess it’s better than nothing.</p>
