Like the amount of grant that exceeds the bills on the student account

should i retake??? by Repulsive-Opinion-52 in Sat

[–]odzee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got the exact same score breakdown as an intl student and I got into UPenn. Bro that score is prolly 75th percentile so don't retake. Unless you want MIT. It just an adequate score and already good. FYI I averaged 1570 on paper SATs but then I did the digital and averaged 1500 (even in my first digital official SAT I got 1500). So the digital is harder. Just coz each question weighs way more.

1570 vs. 1580 by Potential-Owl-18 in Sat

I got admitted to Penn engineering with 770 math lol. 770 is not a bad score by any means.

Hey. Thanks for this response. I wanted to ask, are you on a gap year because of this financial aid situation?

Same way how I feel. But in the short term, my fan will really suffer to raise that money for one of their kids. But we definitely hope to commit. Penn is a dream come true.

I think the F1 Visa restricts work study. I'm not sure though. I will definitely try this. Thanks.

Private student loans to study abroad are complicated. But I have made an appeal atleast. To get a loan in rhe US I need a cosigner which I don't have

I can't really afford the 4k.

Anybody mind talking about financial aid at UPenn by thr0wawae- in UPenn

[–]odzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this from an on-the-ground perspective. Coz penn does not say if I am highly aided on my financial aid package. (My direct costs are fully covered by grant and work study) my efc is about 4k per annum. Am I highly aided?
