<p>Scholarships reduce your loan amount. I don't think they have any impact on grants(need based aid?)</p>
<p>Congrats!
I was also informed about the admission decision :).</p>
<p>My scholarship?
I haven't applied yet.</p>
<p>congratulations Waleed... Now you know I wasn't hasty congratulating you!</p>
<p>For all those accepted to IUB (rnd 1 and 2): What were your stats ? and what merit money (if any) did you get?</p>
<p>My SAT I: Math: 710, CR: 620 W: 690 </p>
<p>O level: 7 A's (Math, Phy, Chem, Comp, Bio, German, History) 2 B's ( Add Math, First Lang English)</p>
<p>TOEFL: 287 CBT</p>
<p>Only appeared for 1 AS Level: German - A</p>
<p>I told them I will appear for A level this june.</p>
<p>As you can see, my stats arent that great at all. Just as someone said recently, CC can be very intimidating. I thought I wouldnt get in! IMPORTANT: Work hard on your essays and presenting yourself well on the application</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p>
<p>Thanks Pranjal! You were right! Are you applying too? Let me know if you need any help.</p>
<p>What do you all think of my chances?</p>

<p>My ACT English is a bit low. How much would that hurt[It's in IUB's middle 50%, although]. Does anyone has any idea, how much tough Round III would be?</p>
<p>ABHi you are a definite admit</p>
<p>Abhi, my EC's were completely ordinary - things like soccer, model un, reading! lol ... I can't say whether you will get in or not since i dont know how difficult round 3 gets ... but if its just slightly more competitive, i think u have a great chance of admission and scholarship. :)</p>
<p>I thought I'd post this since it might be of interest to posters in this thread: A friend of mine just got accepted to IUB with a 5000 Euro scholarship. He applied in the February round.</p>
<p>Hey where who just got accepted from? Are u all def going. I'm not allowed to put the link on here but there's a facebook group I made for incoming IUB students. Join!</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got accepted in round 2..</p>
<p>Well i'm not definately going but there is a very high chance i'll go. I've still joined the community ! :)</p>
<p>yeah....JUB isn't that bad after all.......as many people tend to think..especially from my part of the world</p>
<p>congrats for d acceptance to JUB evryone!!!!!....</p>
<p>check out the first post of 'class of 2011 from nepal...lets discuss here." thread for my stats!!!</p>
<p>thanks isaacnewton, shail , i was just wondering - do they send a copy of the acceptance letter to my school as well (like some US universities do) ? :> :)</p>
<p>no they don't!!!!!...for that u might have to personally inform to your school about your accepantance to Jacobs</p>
<p>aww that would've been cool :)</p>
