<p>Not much.....</p>
<p>kk. so which 1s do u think are generous (EXCEPT ivies+mit+stan lol)</p>
<p>Duke,Trinity,JHU,Illinios,Cornell,....</p>
<p>Illinois bole toh IIT? i doubt about IIT & cornell</p>
<p>Dunno about IIT but uni of Illinios and Cornell do offer aid..</p>
<p>Do u know any other(s)?</p>
<p>somebody told me about Univ of central florida. check that out</p>
<p>LACs also offer good sums like swarth(bit stingy), trinity, grinnell. williams is need blind but it is as competitive as hyps. im thinking of giving a shot @ swarth and grinnel</p>
<p>Hey,I hav heard of many Swedish unis offering full schols to int'l..but the only problem is that they are not ranked very good...its better to apply to NIT's then applyin to Swedish unis....lol</p>
<p>Wat about ur RD colleges?</p>
<p>ummm thinking of duke lehigh brandeis swarth grinnel; idaho state & montana(backups)</p>
<p>r all these generous towards us?</p>
<p>i would advic you people to check up some past archives.. this is one endless discussion we have had in plenty .. just dig some archives and u will find loads loads of names we finally came up with and well which ones were worth applying to..</p>
<p>Duke is a wonderful university and i have friends there as well.. no way do indians feel awkward there as there a gud lot of em already in the first place..</p>
<p>and well such info at indians feeling awkward at such universities are completely fake always..</p>
<p>as of LAC's well be picky, lacs are gud if u r interested in arts and humanities. but remember if u want to go to a LAC for science u will be getting an bachelor of arts based education which u may nt want.. </p>
<p>also well yes they are in general more general than normal univs but apply to the best ones among them as they are worth tht..</p>
<p>otherwise Duke, ALL IVY colleges, MIT Stanford, JHU offer need based financial aid to international universities among the top ones.. while rest dont ( including UIUC, GaTECH and alll.. )</p>
<p>be selective abt ur colleges and contact them for ur tiniest of question which is to be asked with great comprehensibility.. tht helps..</p>
<p>as of ED well do so if u r confident abt the university. dont worry abt financial aid coz i havent yet seen a case where ED admission occured without proper financial aid if the student properly applied for financial aid with ed as well.. but well most university defer u in ED in case u apply for financial aid coz they want to pool u with other RD applicants and compare and get the best..</p>
<p>as of being generous.. NONE of the universities are generous .. on an average financial aid is scarcely visible.. and well where they are there they are very very very limited.. and i am talking about good tier 1 universities.. ofcourse</p>
<p>Hope tht helps</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>As of the EC question and essay stuff.. i wud say write the best of ur EC's not a list long page of seemingly worthless stuff.. preferably mention stuff beyond state levels unless its sumthing to do with deeper passion and has greator importance.. local competitions dont count at all..</p>
<p>for essays think think and think.. frame drafts... edit edit and reedit.and DONT consult more than 2-3 people for them.. coz the moment u make multiple people read it ur theme point and idea is lost as u cant have hundred of comment on ur essays</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>ofcourse also check out IUB .. which is an awesome place in my opinion not because i am here but because in absolute terms its really amazng..</p>
<p>its going to be the Jacobs University Bremen from 2007 in view of the 200 milion Euro investment by the Jacobs foundation and has been getting global acclaims in gud numbers lately .. and is all on the way to be among very gudd ones of world and already among best in germany.</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>Well,thats true,IUB is a good uni(perhapes the best in Gemany....or it may be HUB...cant say..........sheesh)...
SM:thanx for joinin in....this is becomin more than ''dead''....</p>
