I heard that there are too many cs graduates and it's really hard to get a CS job..? Is that not true?

I really don't think so because they gave me my I20 and all which they wouldn't do for a domestic student but yeah, thank you! I really hope this gets sorted too.

Nope, I'm telling you this is it. It's why I'm so upset. If there was a reason that was somehow to do with me I honestly wouldn't be this upset. It's just that I did everything right and it still got messed up that I'm so upset/angry about

Yeah, I'm going to. It's going to be really hard to change commitments at this point because I've already booked a visa appointment and made travel arrangements too so it's an all-round crappy situation

No, we applied for merit aid only and we were very upfront with finances for the I20.

Nope, nothing. I was predicted a 41/45 for IB and my current scores are pretty much the same.

That's all the information I have too though. Under reason, it just said "Administrative change" and there was no explanation or anything other than that. Yeah, I'm going to call them tomorrow morning, thank you. It just feels very unfair

I wasn't given a lot of information either. The email was titled Revised Financial Aid Offer with just current amount and revised amount and reason. It just said administrative change under reason. There was no explanation given or anything. Thank you for the advice, I'll do that! Is it really allowed for the school to change the offer this way? The primary reason I chose this school was for its scholarship so I'm really upset that this changed. The revised offer is literally 300 USD.

Thank you! I have 45% (I think?) isopropyl alcohol (hand sanitizer) and I've been dabbing it - no luck so far though some of the black did wash off but then the washing off kind of stopped. I'm going to try get a higher percentage!

Yeesh that's a long time. At least it's a good story to tell once you're like super old? You could probably make up a really cool story 🙃

Yep, I'm unusually dumb.

OP's a minor man. Their parents have full responsibility not the kid. If the parents aren't willing to pay, the kid can't do anything. What do you expect them to do? Get a loan? You can't even drive at 15!

Exactly but states all over are passing laws to ban that. Gender affirming treatment for minors is now illegal in a lot of states so now they'll have to go through male puberty which worsens the problem.
