<p>well..people i got my IUb decision now.. Accepted .. well best part that i submitted the apps on april 1 after US decisions yet was into round 3 whose deadline was 15 march</p>
<p>... well to top it all .. i got a Euro 8500 scholarship per yr which is merit based..</p>
<p>now waiting for the financial aid package to be recieved in a few days.. man the scholarship ensures that the loan component in the upcoming aid package be reduced to zero.. :):):)</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>cool...damn good SM...</p>
<p>Got accepted too. Waiting for FinAid. If it is any good I might end up going there. Of course if I am not accepted from any waitlist. What about you SmartMind?</p>
<p>well i dont have waitlist either but few acceptances in US.. yet they are damn costly and i cant pay that much to go there.. moreover the 8500 schol thingy ensures i think 100% germany now..even if they tweek my aid package a little</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>Awww... I was lookin' forward to meeting more CC-ers in the US besides banedon, kenyon_10, kee10 and Kj. </p>
<p>But Congrats SM and TemplarofSteel! :D</p>
<p>US aint that far frm germany ..:p</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>eehhhhhhh, i just got my decision too, waitlisted... hey SM and templarofsteel, can you just not go to IUB, so there are more places in IUB and i would have more chances to get accepted from the waitlist...</p>
<p>will you?!</p>
<p>hahahahahaha, just jokeing</p>
<p>aaaaaaaaahh they waitlist people too thats weird..</p>
<p>well seeems like they too having surge in apps.. dont worry olsi .. i knw more than tens of ppl who wont be going there..</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>can you speak german? Do you need to speak german?</p>
<p>well i knw almost veryyyyyy basic german which may be equated to no info at all..but u need absolutely NO GERMAN SKILLS FOR ALL LANGUAGE IS ENLGISH HERE... </p>
<p>though ppl do gather basic knowledge of german when they stay here for 3 yrs..</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>hey I am considering IUB too .. I am pretty fluent in german - got an A in AS Level German.. is IUB the best in Germany? and how renowned is it internationally?</p>
<p>Admit</p>
<p>10,000 scholarship + an aid package</p>
<p>computational science</p>
<p>Q ?</p>
<p>Will a three year BS degree here rule out US MS options later ? Any views ?</p>
<p>it is not the best but it is a very very exellent university and what is special about it is that it applies a US college system intrecated with the 3 year European system. About the German language, you wont need it at all.... like SM said no german required or needed... you should worry only about the VISA</p>
<p>3 yr IUB BS=4 yr US BS (in terms of academics)
so u wont face any problems in doing MS in US after ur BS at IUB
100% sure.</p>
<p>yes they have exactly same curriculum of 4 yrs but crunched into 3 yrs due to german rule..</p>
<p>thus wel the per semester course requirements shoots up making IUb a academically tough institution..</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>hey have you heard for any other wait-listed student form IUB???</p>
<p>well as of now i havent heard many news .. lemme wait till tomrorow./</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>Well, I was planning to take a gap year, but then I thought let's give a try to IUB in the 3rd round! Whether I get rejected or accepted, it wudn't have affected my gap year plans! But surprisingly, I got into IUB. I am still waiting for the financial package to arrive. And the worst of all, everyone wants me to go there! I am confused!</p>
