<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am planning on trasnfering to wisco asap....(currently at umass lowell)</p>
<p>Stats-Asian Male</p>
<p>GPA:3.8
sat:1850</p>
<p>ECS
captain of crew team
ir club
etc etc...</p>
<p>Would i get any aid from Wisco? What are my chances for the BANNER program?</p>
<p>i would need at least 20-25k a year...(my family EFC is about 3000)</p>
<p>Your college gpa will matter, not just your HS stats. Be sure you will have met the admission requirements listed for freshmen, including the foreign language one.</p>
<p>I’m interested in the BANNER program as well. Does anyone know the typical income of the people in the program? Or do they not publish that kind of information, even in aggregate?</p>
<p>What’s your projected EFC?</p>
<p>i took 4 years of french and 4 years of latin in highschool…am i clear of the requirement? also my proj EFC is about 3000…may be lower now that my dad is unemployed</p>
<p>bump for more input!! thanks :D</p>
<p>Have you tried calling the financial aid office or using their online calculator (‘Award Estimator’)?</p>
<p>Using non-resident with family income under $80,000, EFC $3,000 and 2010-2011 year (2011-2012 year not yet available):</p>
<p>[UW-Madison</a> Office of Student Financial Aid : Award Estimator](<a href=“Office of Student Financial Aid – UW–Madison”>Office of Student Financial Aid – UW–Madison)</p>

<p>Your Need Calculation for 2010-2011:
Cost of Attendance (COA) $37,720.00

<p>yes however they do not mention the BANNER program or merit aid</p>
<p>Your stats don’t look like they would qualify you for any merit money. Using the online calculator, your grant aid, work study and loans would be $15,700 and you would need to come up with $19,020. I’d be surprised if the BANNER program would give you $19,020.</p>
<p>Do your homework- check the freshman admissions page for HS reqs. You can also check the L&S graduation foreign language reqs- the most nonmajor stringent ones are for a BA of either 4 semesters of one or 3 + 2 of two foreign languages. One year of HS = one semester of college work in this. </p>
<p>Of course the financial aid estimator will not include scholarships. YOU need to go to that site and follow up if you have the interest. </p>
<p>All students- YOU have to do the work to get information, you can’t expect us to hand you all of the answers and do your research for you. We will try to give you help in knowing how to find answers. Explore the UW website- an easy one to navigate.</p>
