Hi all, First of all congrats on making it to one of the best MiF programs out there!! :D
Here's my query: although I am really interested in joining a top MiF program in 2013, I have to be honest to admit that my family really doesn't have that sort of financial resources to self-fund an MiF degree from the US. We will have to make a lot of efforts to do that (e.g. selling some property etc.) but it can still be managed (my sis is settled in the US only though for the past 6-7 years although on a work-visa only, I am not sure how that may help me with student-loans). So I want to ask you guys: what sort of funding options do people like me have over there? Are there ample opportunities for scholarships/financial aids?? (as far as I have heard, USA is still better than any of the european institutes in these regards hands down)
Profile: IIT grad with strong undergraduate background in finance, CFA level 2 candidate, Working at No. 1 Healthcare Company in their marketing division (also had two internships at Fortune 500 companies but both NOT finance), CGPA 7.3/10
Thanks and any help is really appreciated!! :D
