Actually my stipend is for a 12-month period and I haven't yet told them about my family. I think after tax reductions it will be about 2600$/month, the amount Nyctophile mentioned.
Hi there,
I am also probably going to Cornell for Fall 2014. I have some concerns since I will be accompanied with my wife. The stipend is stated as 33,530$ per year. Do you know how much of it is reduced due to taxes considering I am an international student? For a modest living of two people do you think 33,530$ minus the tax is sufficient?
Thnx in advance.
I don't like to sound as a pessimist but I've heard that MIT usually calls the successful applicants and they are preparing these messages for massive rejections.
