I had a 20-minute 1:1 with a first-year UNC student, but the call went on for 50 minutes. He told me that if you are in tech, go where you can get placed. Don’t get lured by a scholarship if you’re getting admit at any T15 school.

He said none of his batchmates have secured internships yet; he has tried many times with no luck so far, and the school doesn’t help much. He advised me to try Duke or even Georgia Tech, but not to come there. He said, go to Ross, but don’t come here.

When did you have this conversation? I spoke with a current student who is graduating this year, and they mentioned the exact opposite, that all of their juniors, at least the Indian students, have secured internships and that too with good companies.

Sending an email clarifying this right now, will update here once I hear back

Hi, did you get back from Ross on this? Would appreciate any insight as I’m planning to appeal for scholarships too.

No school is going to improve odds much when it comes to tech. It’s mostly dependent on your profile, your networking and the company’s willingness to sponsor internationals. if you are coming to the US expecting to land a FAANG role without a solid plan B or C, prepare to be disappointed.

Re UNC— it’s a fine school with a great alumni network, and I’d definitely consider it with scholarship over others without as much in the present situation. I highly doubt your connection/their peers have fully exhausted resources. Have they networked with alumni? Are their behaviorals on point? Are they open to other roles/industries? I can almost guarantee that something is missing here

If you are going for Finance and consulting then it’s very good school. For tech, situation is not good at UNC this year.

Tech isn’t good ANYWHERE. It’s a function of the present economy not the school.

How long does it usually take to get a response on the scholarship appeal? I submitted the form on 16th, haven’t heard anything yet.

I have never heard anything about an appeal. Could you please provide more information about this? Also, I haven’t seen any form related to it.

I mailed my admissions manager and she redirected me to a form

Hey, I appreciate that! Got it.

WA@lcp6229

Folks, I hope you have read the conditions on the scholarship revision form. If they do give you a revised value you need to accept it and pay the commitment fee within 72 hrs otherwise your admit and scholarship both get revoked. So please submit when you’re best placed and have all the data points available with you

Of course, and as I know, in any situation, it is still hard, and if my other offers me more, I will definitely choose them since all are on the same tier.

Will also say that these forms are a negotiation. As in, you need to come to the table with a material reason why the committee needs to give you more money. Simply saying that you can’t afford to attend without aid is likely to not be effective since scholarships are awarded based on merit. Best is competing offers, but improved test scores + any kind of expanded responsibility at work or in the community would help too.
