International FA Request NOW

[mizunoami]

<p>I know the website says internationals cannot get FA once they are admitted, if they don't apply for it in the beginning. </p>

<p>Well .. my parents thought I wouldnt get in anywhere if I apply FA, since it is usually need-aware for internationals (HAHA which is probably true for me, not getting in anywhere), so they say NO when I kept persuading them to apply FA.</p>

<p>Ok now I got accepted to Tufts but ironically, I probably cannot afford it, HAHA. But Tufts is indeed my top choice school and I don't want to stay in my city U. Of course I sent an email to the FA office a few days ago and they of course, said no. </p>

<p>Is it true that I cannot get even a $5000...? I am prepared to take loans, but I don't want to take up such a huge financial burden though. </p>

<p>Does anyone have any advice? I LOVE TUFTS. I want to go there! </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>From our website:

If you expect that you will need financial aid at Tufts, you must apply for it when you apply for admission. Do not wait until you receive a decision from Tufts to apply for aid; you will not receive it.

I hate being the bearer of bad news, especially to a student who feels so strongly about Tufts, but you won’t be able to receive financial aid now. If you’d like to talk further, you’re most welcome to e-mail me.</p>
