do Harvey mudd and cmu do much fiancial aid

[vivid stirrup]

• Both schools offer need-based and meet 97-100% of demonstrated financial need.
• At Harvey Mudd, ~70% of students have at least some kind of aid.
• CMU is ~50%.
• I think CMU does some merit. Harvey Mudd not so much.

is there a limit or anything on the amount of fiancial aid?

[vivid stirrup]

idr think so

it’s need based tho

[calm scroll]

alright

[still stream]

with all due respect, uiuc purdue and unc are not targets, theyre reaches for cs

especially oos

unless you have another skill you can tie into (for the + x) it is very difficult

and unc is a reach regardless of major oos

[still stream]

ok actually looked at stats, better predictions but its still difficult just because low accept rate

[vivid stirrup]

yah no frfr. i think given the stats it sorta makes sense, but u right

[tame dirge]

Nah just keep them as reaches regardless of stats

[calm scroll]

What if I’m instate unc

[still stream]

instate is a lot better

[calm scroll]

Alright

[calm scroll]

Would you say it’s a target in state?

[still stream]

im not 100% sure about this but i would say yes

[vivid stirrup]

If good ECs I think so if we look at UNC Common Dataset
he's above 75th percentile on the sats (1500 vs 1540)
higher than average gpa (4.6 vs 4.42)

and if you're in state and you have good ecs you should be in a decent position to get in

[calm scroll]

I’d say my ecs are decent

[still stream]

yeah id say you should be fine for unc

[vivid stirrup]

yeah

no guarantee but target imo

[still stream]

i cant speak for purdue but if youd like to apply to uiuc try a + x for higher acceptance rates
