thanks! also, is the presidential scholarship awarded just like that? I mean, if I have the required score will I get it? or is it only for limited students?
If you have the stats, and apply and submit all stuff by the deadline, you get the award.
Since it can take int’ls longer to get their transcripts sent, it’s always a good idea to apply early to allow time for int’l mail and to get transcripts transcribed (if not in English), etc.
So, don’t worry, but get the necessary things sent in.
I’m also an international student from Asian, so I know the process. Listen to mom2collegekids and have everything sent as soon as possible.
As you’re an international student, your transcript must be evaluated by a NACES organization before sending to University of Alabama. It took me 1.5 month to have everything done. So if you want to be considered for the Honor College and other programs there, be quick. You can always receive help from mom2collegekids like I did.
@Nerdyparent Can you really even compare UA to the Kelley School of Business? Sure, IU as a school isn’t great, but I’d still place it higher than UA. But Kelley compared to UA and Culverhouse… please, thats too funny.
JohnBran, why are you investing time at an “inferior” school’s CC forum? For some reason, thousands of brilliant students are ignoring your advice every year as they happily enroll at UA.
@JohnBran Your parents earn $450k. Likely, they’ll easily pay for whatever school you want.
Most students don’t have that luxury. The OP may be in a situation where the parents won’t pay $50-65k per year for college. Or maybe she’s just looking for a couple of financial safeties.
That said, do you want to be proof that having money doesn’t buy good manners.
Speaking as someone with an MBA from IU’s Kelley, the school definitely has a stellar reputation and that (along with the fact that I live 40 miles from the campus) is why I chose to go there (which was also aided by the fact that my employer helped pay a significant amount of the cost). But as for education… I didn’t feel particularly challenged and don’t think I got a better education than most other programs I could have chosen to go to.
Kelley has very good reputation earned over time. Most programs earn their reputations over time. UA is in it’s infancy in that regard. Reputation is a long term thing in the education world just as it is in the business world.
Reputation can be killed in an instant in education as in business, just ask VW. That is why those high reputation universities work so hard to keep it.
NPV, ROI, and payback calculations do not change by where you went to school.
Not saying Culverhouse is in its infancy. What I was saying is that UA has been working on building it’s national rep for only a few years, relatively speaking. And have done quite well might I add!
