Scholarships

Post by jpSartre » Sun Jan 10, 2010 2:33 am

Other than numbers, what determines how much money a school will give you? I'm looking at stats for Chicago, and people with the same numbers got either 0 or money. What's up with that?

Soft factors might be coming into play. Also, scholarships change as the cycle goes on and more people withdraw applications.

Third, later in the cycle I'm sure some applicants are writing to schools about other offers they have received.
EG: Full Ride from Brooklyn writing a letter to Cardozo and saying they will choose Brooklyn unless Cardozo can up the scholarship accordingly.

Also, those are self-reported and not everyone reports them, or reports them the same way.
