Hi Paul

I would like to apply to two more schools, Michigan State University(Eli Broad) and University of Iowa (Tippie). May you please evaluate my chances in those. Also please tell me the differences between a financial aid and scholarchips.Lot of schools claim to provide close to 100% financial aid.What do they mean by this?

Thanks
Saggy

You are competitive at Michigan State and Iowa. Scholarships means no loans involved: your tuition is covered by the scholarship. Financial aid can mean scholarships plus loans, so 100% financial aid could mean you don't need to make any "down payment" on your tuition; it can be covered entirely by loans and scholarships. The usage of these terms varies with the school, so ask them what they mean by the term.

Good luck,
