<p>hey guys, quick question?
its about financial aid (, again! 
when you apply to a uni which doesn’t provide any financial aid or scholarship, we have to show the bank balance to prove that we have funds enough to cover what period-time of education? like in UCLA, do we have to show that we have enough balance to pay for whole 4 years, or just the first or the second year? (take an example of ANY university! )
thanks.</p>
<p>@rew2402; Usually its for the first year.Most universities have their financial declaration form for international students and you have to fill up the details in that form with supporting bank documents</p>
<p>Yup First year only.</p>
<p>Only for 1st year! But I think CMU asks you to show for all 4 years! But I am not sure!</p>
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I have been away from this forum for quite a while.
Congratulations for all the acceptances and best wishes for college.</p>
<p>Have you decided on harvard, alea?</p>
<p>Hey Shreya,
I am actually lucky to have been accepted to all the schools I applied to (except MIT where I was waitlisted) , and I am currently torn between all these choices. I wish my mother made me a thousand, not just one ;)</p>
<p>Hey guys, quick question, does anybody know whether having a green card (being a permanent resident of USA) makes me a domestic applicant, or an international one since I have studied in India till 12th?!
Thanks :)</p>
<p>^ Depends. For example, for Columbia, you’re an international. For Berkeley, you’re American (but that’s still OOS if you don’t have Cali residency)</p>
<p>Congratulations on your acceptances Alea :)</p>
<p>merci Tizil</p>
<p>Most schools would consider you as part of the domestic pool when you have a greencard, for admissions and scholarships.</p>
<p>This is because a lot of schools follow need aware policies for internationals and so having a greencard allows them to consider you under the need blind policies. GC holders are allowed federal loans, Pell grants etc which makes the school’s work easy.</p>
<p>From the stanford site [International</a> Applicants : Stanford University](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/international/index.html]International”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/international/index.html), but pretty sure it applies to all school</p>
<p>“If you are a U.S. citizen or a U.S. permanent resident living and attending school abroad, then you will be considered an American expatriate in our admission process. This means that, while you will be considered a domestic applicant for financial aid purposes, your application will be read in the context of your high school abroad and you may need to submit the International Supplement to the Secondary School Report.”</p>
<p>Why is this place dead?</p>
