Do colleges usually offer more financial aid to early decision admits?
In regards to need-based financial aid, universities are blind about whether you are an early decision or regular decision admit. They generally use a formula to determine how much aid is offered. It’s worth noting that regular decision applicants do get priority much of the time for disbursement and calculation of financial aid because they need to choose between multiple financial aid offers before May 1st, whereas early decision applicants know they will be attending the university they were admitted to.For merit-based aid however, it is generally assumed (however no official statistics are available to confirm this) that regular decision applicants get more scholarships. The reason for this is that universities care a lot about their “yield rates”. That is the percentage of admitted students who matriculate. When a student is admitted early decision, the university knows that they will attend; the student signed a contract obligating them to, so there is no reason for the university to offer them scholarships (beyond need-based aid). Regular decision applicants, however, are up for grabs by all the schools they were admitted to; thus, universities will provide these merit-based scholarships to steal regular decision admits away from other schools, improving their yield rate and securing highly qualified admits. This is commonly done by the top universities that are just below the Ivies, as per the Ivy Agreement, no merit-based aid will be offered by Ivy League schools (Stanford, MIT, and few other top-tier schools have similar policies).
What if I said "yes" to getting financial aid on the common app for a certain college but didn't end up applying for their financial aid?
I will provide an example of a typical Time Line for Early Action, Versus Regular Action and related to applying for Financial Aid:Deadlines & Requirements | MIT AdmissionsWhereas if one applies Early Decision, this is a normal time line:Checklist | Admissions (Dartmouth)For Early Action, the college tells you if you are admitted by mid-December, however, you have until the end of April to actually accept the offer. Therefore, you merely apply for financial aid by mid-February, get the aid offer by early April and make your final decision in April.However, Early Decision is a Contract. You must Accept if offered admission, and the Only excuse not to, is if the financial aid offer is way too little for your need. In that case, per Dartmouth, you Must turn in the FAFSA and the PROFILE by November 1st.Today is Nov 3rd. Tonight sit down with your parents and fill out the FAFSA and the PROFILE (both online) and that will take a couple of hours, at most. The FAFSA started October 1st, this year, for the first time.If the college gets the online info by middle of next week, they have Plenty of time to factor in your need with their admission decision.I am surprised that your Guidance Counselor did not remind you of that time line.All the best.
Can you apply for financial aid after acceptance?
It depends. It actually does…..For example, if you apply Early Action to MIT (which is need blind for everyone) the due date for your application is November 1st, and you will be notified of your acceptance by mid-December, but the due date for financial aid forms is February 15th, and finally you do not have to accept the admission until April 30th.Whereas, if you are an International freshman applicant to Stanford, which is need-aware for international applicants, if you do not tell Stanford that you are asking for financial aid, when you submit your application, you can then NEVER apply for financial aid from Stanford.So, it does Depend.Whereas, for US citizens and permanent residents, one can fill out the FAFSA forms at any time and request Federal Loans or Pell Grants for the following term.You MUST check the web site for each and every college to which you are applying to determine when the financial forms must be submitted as a function of whether you are applying early or regular.All the best.
MACRS depreciation expense and accounting cash flow?
MACRS depreciation expense and accounting cash flow Pavlovich Instruments, Inc., a maker of precision telescopes, expects to report pre-tax income of $430,000 this year.

How is it being Japanese and suffering from mental illness?
I can only write what I know about this the process and financial aid or benefits from the Japanese government.Actually if you had being working more than 5 years and paid your social security and doctor diagnoses you as mentally ill, you can continue working or quit the job and start receiving aid towards your illness from SS, monthly up to 60% of what you were earning for the first 1.5 years (18 months).If you don’t recover within 18 months, you need to claim to the government that you need life aid and support due to your illness. This is a hectic process and you will not know the end result until it comes back officially. Depending of your level of illness determined by the government you will receive bi-monthly benefit (money) intended to be used during the next 2 month period.Most cases, and with the growing amount of people becoming mentally ill, the money and aid that you receive from that is not enough, you still have to pay taxes, mortgage and medical bills. Even though you only have to pay 10% (nomally 30%) of your medical bill and medications, you also have to eat and if you live in Tokyo the chances of survival are extremely slim.If you get healthy and start working, you have a chance but if you suffer for many years and no family support, your pretty much dead.Imagine phones ringing off the hook and they are all related to late payment and last notice calls, even if you were not mentally ill, you will not get better.The other side to this topic is that mentally ill can NOT face serious environmental changes, or make a huge life changing decisions without a huge tow afterwards.Mental illness is becoming popular, however as a society Japan does not understand as much as other countries do and how to aid or help them to recover.Your pretty much on your own, when it comes to that…Hope this answers your question.If you are needing help in this area in Japan, ping me and I can show you the way.
How much financially should you be able to support yourself while studying in England?
You’ll be most unlikely to be able to support yourself completely, and less so if you are an overseas student.You will, after all, be studying full-time, so the most you can expect to handle is a part-time job. Your tuition fees alone can be up to £9,250 per annum, and not many part-time jobs will provide a liveable income after that kind of expenditure.So most UK students take out a government loan for fees and maintenance, to be repaid with interest as a percentage of salary once their wages reach a certain level.My son, for instance, starts University in September. He’s taken out a full fee loan (as above) but, as he’s going to Salford - just a quick train ride away - he’ll be living at home in his first year. He’s still taken out a minimum maintenance loan of around £3K which will cover his train tickets, books, equipment and fieldwork fees.However, he will also be finding a part-time job to pay for other aspects of life such as social and cultural activities, trips to see his young lady in Sheffield, saving up for a car, and the 100w all-valve guitar amplifier that is apparently essential for the completion of a BSc in Wildlife and Practical Conservation. Yeah, I wondered about that one.If you are a foreign student then you are very unlikely to get any kind of loan from the UK government, will pay higher tuition fees (at Salford, up to £13,300 per annum for undergraduate courses), and will obviously not be able to live at home and be fed by your indulgent parents.In short, you’ll need to cover fees, course materials, accommodation, food, transport and social life out of your own pocket without help from HM Government.There are exceptions; the following may be of some use to you:I’m an international student and I want to study in the UK – what higher education funding can I get?
Will you do your job even if you don't get paid, just because you love doing it?
If I had another source of income to support my family, buy a home, pay for my children’s education and our retirement and health care, yes I would do my job for free despite the 50 mile commute and health risks like debilitating lower back injury. I would need about $5 million of outside funding to do so, or another $167,000 per year.(No my salary is not even a third of that, and I cannot afford any of those things now. Don’t become a nurse for the money.)However I would reduce my schedule to three or four days a week and take days off or vacation when I wanted because my mind needs a break. Things happen at work.In recent months perhaps you have heard of underpaid teachers who work multiple jobs (five jobs in one man’s case, including driving the bus before and after school), to support their families. People with masters degrees being paid under $30,000 in some states. That is madness. Those people have a passion for teaching. God bless teachers.I have this in my feed directly below this question. Madness.A Maine teacher's salary was so low she couldn't afford formula for her newborn baby — and she was forced to apply for food stamps

What is it like to have a last name that clashes with your perceived ethnic background?
Not myself, but this question reminded me of the actor Reggie Valdez.You may know him from supporting roles in movies and TV shows like The Fast and the Furious (2001), Prison Break, Grimm (main cast now) and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Just not with the name Valdez.Because after he got tired of continually showing up for parts where the producers were dissatisfied as they were expecting someone 'Hispanic' (in US parlance, a classification of physical appearance by which they actually mean some visible native American ancestry [mixed with European], rather than remembering the word 'Hispanic' actually means related to Spain), he changed his acting surname to that of one of his grandfathers.Apparently many producers from the US don't remember that their country took the Philippines (named after King Philip of Spain), one of Spain's longest-held colonies, in the Spanish-American War, and that the vast majority of Filipinos have Spanish surnames, even though you'd think the US ruling it for half a century might have led to at least some familiarity with the basics.The name he goes by now? Reggie Lee. US casting directors don't seem so upset now when he shows up for a part.Pinoy Hollywood actor Reggie Lee battles aswang on hit TV series ‘Grimm’ Actor passes up Harvard Wikipedia - Reggie Lee (actor)
