5 Things About College Admission, Financial Aid and I-20
By HSB On November 3, 2009;
Usha Asks about Financial aid and Admission through email.
I have got an admit from Missouri University of Science & Technology, Rolla and Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. But i have not yet received any news about the financial aid to be offered. When can i expect any information on financial aid which will help me deciding which university i have to choose.
Most International students applying for Graduate School Admission to US Universities don’t have 100% information about Graduate School Admission process, questions from Usha validates that.
Admission, Aid and I-20
You have to understand the following
- If your profile don’t meet minimum Requirements, Grad School will reject the application without forwarding the application to the department.
- Department decides about Admission.
- I-20 is issued if you have enough funds (bank statements)
- I-20 will say if you hare given Financial Aid ( Scholarship, RA or TA)
- If you received I-20 without Financial Aid, most likely you will not receive new I-20 with Financial Aid.
In your case, you need to decide between Missouri University of Science & Technology, Rolla and Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. You can read the interview with Harish from Missouri S&T, Rolla about Financial Aid and life at Rolla, that can give you some pointers about the college.

hi,
i want to know whether i have to convert my %age into GPA and mention that in my transcripts or the normal (indian) scoring will work.If i have to mention the GPA kindly mention the conversion for 75.2% and 77%.
@Anne , try using WES GPA conversion system online. As per that system, your GPA should be around 3.9 – 4.0 ! No kidding. They ask $8 for conversion. You’ll have to enter the marks secured in each subject and also mention the maximum marks possible and cut-off marks.
