Hi Everyone, I too have received an admit 2 days back

Looking forward to interact with everyone here :)

I had two quick questions if someone can help out. 1) Can we request for additional financing support (in-terms of scholarship)? 2) Are there any external scholarships that I can apply for?

up to you, but you better have a good reason.

you can almost always trim down the essay to convey better meaning. If you’re over 10%, you better have very strong and concise points that you cannot reduce.

I would not recommend exceeding the word count - they are measuring your ability to convey a message within a concise manner.

Yeah, I think I was exactly on the word count for all essays. Super tough. Personally I think it’s way too short. 450-500 words is really the sweet spot.

Grammarly helps trim some fat of. But it can affect your tone so be careful with that.

Fat 😂

Just turned in my application yesterday. I exceeded the word count some. My region coordinator said it was ok
