Hey guys, international student here, need some help with the documents mentioned in the DCOF.

What's the difference between "Letter of Guarantee" and "Affidavit of Support"?
Also, "notarized" Affidavit of Support, does it mean the letter has to be signed by a public notary?

Peter

Yes, 'notarized' means that the letter has to be signed by a public notary. But I am not sure about the difference between "Letter of Guarantee" and "Affidavit of Support" :?

I asked Mark Kelley the same question, and this was his response, thought it might be helpful for us all.

" You are correct, a “letter of guarantee” and the affidavit of support form included in your admission packet are the same thing. The letter/affidavit from your sponsor does not have to be notarized, simply filled out. Any bank statements sent in as financial proof do have to be signed or stamped by a bank employee in order for the documents to be considered valid. "

Hi Guys-

I don't go on this site very often, but I'm really excited that I was accepted to Olin in R2. It made my year when I got the call in December. It seems like a great program, and I'm seriously considering it!

what do u mean? I thought that we "can't" apply for loans since the attendance cost are not yet known. in admissions packets should be info about whether or not someone recieved scholarship (deans or whatever)

Have you received the admission packet??? If you get financial aid, the second page mentions the details.
