We are examining how people feel about AI's role in diagnosing illnesses, recommending treatments, and assisting medical professionals.

Bahir Amal are conducting research on the challenges students face during their journey to study abroad. While there are countless so-called educational consultancies these days, many of them only assist with application submissions and provide little support beyond that. Our research aims to identify the specific challenges students encounter, so we can find more effective ways to simplify the process.

Financial Aid

CMU and GU don't have any loans and they are fully need blind so I recommend applying to 2 of them the most!

Northwestern gives merit scholarships which are full ride for most of the accepted students so apply for Merit if you are applying to Northwestern

The other 4 universities include loans in their aid package and they will take percentage of monthly salary after that but still the loan amount is so small which can be repaid in small time. And they have a policy to forgive loans based on academics

Financial aid website is the same just follow financial aid link from their common app pages for more specific info about their aid

✨We encountered questions during our session with Mikiyas, so we're providing insights into each admission process✨

Here’s a breakdown :

🎯Early Decision (ED) 1:

A binding early application process.

If you apply ED and are accepted, you must attend that school and withdraw other applications.


Timeline: deadline is in early November, and decisions are released in December.

🎯Early Decision (ED) 2:

Similar to ED 1 but typically offered by schools with a second round of early decision.

It is also binding, meaning you have to attend if accepted.

Timeline: deadline is usually later than ED 1, often in January, with decisions released in February.

🎯Restrictive Early Action (REA):

Non-binding early admission option that restricts students from applying to other private colleges early (though not public institutions).

Timeline: typically due in early November, with decisions released in December.

🎯Early Action (EA):

A non-binding early application process. Students can apply early and receive their admissions decisions sooner but are not required to attend if accepted.

Timeline: Similar to ED, with deadlines often in November and decisions released in December.

🎯Regular Admission:

A standard application process where students can apply by a specific deadline (usually in January or February) and receive admission decisions in the spring.

Timeline: Deadlines and notification dates vary by institution, but they generally fall between January and March.

🎯Rolling Admission:

An admission process where colleges evaluate applications as they are received rather than waiting until a specific deadline to review them.

Timeline: Students can apply at any time until the program is filled, and decisions are typically communicated to applicants within a few weeks of submission.

✨Key Differences✨

Binding vs. Non-Binding: ED is binding (you commit to attending if accepted), while EA, REA, and regular admission are non-binding.

Timeline: ED typically has the earliest deadlines, while regular admission is usually later.

Restrictions: REA places some restrictions on applying to other private schools early, while EA does not.

Understanding these can help you strategize your college applications effectively!

✨Good luck to all applicants✨
