International Students

<p>Any foreing students who applied to Colby for the Class 0f 2013?</p>

<p>Yep, I applied ED1 and got in.</p>

<p>Me too. Can't wait to know the decision.</p>

<p>Oooh, typo. I meant, foreign :)</p>

<p>I did and I'd love to go to Colby.
It's kind of sad that the economic crisis had to happen now, but I guess that's the fate of class 2013 ;p
Quite sure I won't get in...</p>

<p>i did.. and iam quite sure i wont get in either.. ahhahaha watever</p>

<p>i did! i have an indian passport but ive been living in the middle east my entire life. i hope i get in because ive already gotten two rejections, one from brandeis (a big surprise…maybe because its a jewish uni and i live in the middle east?) and duke (ughh another disappointment. i thought i had a shot). i’ll keep my fingers crossed!!</p>

<p>are there any accepted international students here??</p>

<p>yep i got accepted RD, international student from New Zealand. Originally born in China, lived in England then moved to NZ, currently NZ Citizen. Got $27,340 in financial aid, they want my parents to pay $25,000. But in my application, I calculated my parental contribution to be only $10,000 O.o </p>

<p>How come Colby more than doubled my listed parental contribution in the financial aid package? It’s gona be really difficult coming up with an extra $15,000. My dad’s a financial analyst in Shanghai, it’s not exactly a good position to be in for this year cause of the economic crisis.</p>

<p>Jiangatan - Colby says it would meet the 100% demonstrated need to international students. You should negotiate with them and try to increase your aid.</p>
