<p>How generous are they on FA? I have not read that many FA applicants on Ivy Scholars on the post, meaning there is none?? I am thinking about my twins for the next year, and if there is no FA, we would not even start thinking about it.</p>

<p>They are very generous actually,. Many students got FA from $1000 to $3000, I think the aid is based on merit, because their resource is limited, so they have to award FA based on merit. Not need completely/</p>

<p>aww…then I guess I should have tried =/. But hey all, I just got accepted to the Global Leaders program! Too bad I couldn’t get into Grand Strategy, but then again, I should have applied earlier.</p>

<p>Hey hows it going? I’ll be in GL from Bellevue, WA. Anyone else coming from the NW? Also, do you guys want to plan out an ~arrival time or something at Bradley International so we could meet up at the airport?</p>

<p>do you plan to take the Yale shuttle service? I think ti is quite expensive. $85 round trip, but $5 using Hartford express…?</p>

<p>OMY GOODNESS!!! I JUST FOUND OUT I GOT A DEFERRED ADMISSION!!! I never thought I would have made it :D</p>

<p>@iveyyoung Are you seeing a Hartford Express route that I’m missing? I see that Hartford Express runs public buses weekdays for park-and-ride commuters from New Haven to downtown Hartford. I don’t see any weekend service from New Haven, no pick up at Yale, and no direct route from New Haven to BDL.</p>

<p>Actually it has, please refer to this link.

<p>From BDL to Station Hartford, and from Hartford to New Haven, then wait for the Yale shuttle service</p>

<p>^Thanks. We’re going with the $85 option.</p>

<p>Actually I have a friend in Hartford and she may guide me to go here. </p>

<p>And i will also have a chance to visit Hartford.</p>

<p>Niceday, you are from US or >>>?</p>

<p>We’re in Texas.</p>

<p>niceday which program will you go? i will go hertog.</p>

<p>Our D will attend GL. I think she made a facebook page for all the 2011 Ivy Scholars.</p>

<p>Hey RobertD1! I’m from Vancouver which is only about an hour away from Bellevue (:</p>

<p>YEAH~~~~!!! I got my Visa very successfully with no difficulties!!! The officer only asked me 2 questions: how old are you and are you high school student? And he did not review any of my materials!! </p>

<p>International students; it is easy to obtain Visa!</p>

<p>past paticipants, is pre-program reading important?? how familiar do i need to be w/ the mandatory reading materials?</p>

<p>Also, would you recommend doing the optional reading?</p>

<p>@worldtravellers3 I’ll be attending the Grand Strategy program. Looking forward to the weeks forthcoming with anticipation and excitement in mind~ XD</p>

<p>I remember someone mentioning that Dr. Luong had weight with the admissions office. To what extent is this true, and do any of the instructors write letters of recommendations, especially if a relationship is developed over the course of the program.</p>
