5 Things About College Admission, Financial Aid and I-20

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

1. If your profile don’t meet minimum Requirements, Grad School will reject the application without forwarding the application to the department.
2. Department decides about Admission.
3. I-20 is issued if you have enough funds (bank statements)
4. I-20 will say if you hare given Financial Aid ( Scholarship, RA or TA)
5. 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.
