<p>I've got a problem and many doubts. I was recently wait listed at emory and accepted at oxford with an international scholarship of USD15,000 renewable each year. The problem is the following:</p>

<p>Im an international student with a lot of financial need and hence, I would be needing at leat 90% of the tuiton covered or I wont be able to attend.
Does oxford college and emory have the same type of need based aid? I mean, if I get for example 30,000 usd of need based aid at emory I get it at oxford? I know that emory does have need based aid but Im not sure if oxford does.</p>

<p>The other problem is that the waitlisted decisions, apparently, come out AFTER march 1st and I would have to enroll to oxford BEFORE march 1st. What should I do? </p>

<p>Please, any help would be much appreciated</p>

<p>Yes they have the same type of need based aid although as an international you don’t qualify for need based aid, only merit aid. If Oxford only gave you $15,000 a year, it’s not affordable and you can’t go to either Oxford or Emory CAS. </p>

<p>Not sure about the financial aid situation, but I was also wait listed at Emory and accepted at Oxford. You must place your deposit in one school that you are 100% sure you would go to. If you don’t get off the wait list, you have that school. If you do get off the wait list and still want to attend Emory, then you just lost your money at the other school. For me, losing that money would be worth going to Emory.</p>

<p>It’s May 1st by the way, not March 1st. </p>
