I have to say the scholar UW offered is really not that generous,
but as a public university , when u consider about the tuition,
it is much fair.
I mean, the tuition for one year is $29,000for us international . When I received $6k, that is only $23000.
But for others like WUSTL, which is almost $40,000.
Even it offers me $10,000, it is still $30,000 per year,
so I can say that UW will be cheapest for me.
what's more, UW has a center for AIDS research , and I already got contact with several professors and post-Doctor to get some information about their studies about HIV/AIDS research.
About others , like Umich and Uchicago, it is really a pity I didn't receive any scholarship. So I think I will not consider.
would u mind me ask some basic information about the life in Seattle ?
i PM a message for u about my email address, I will grateful if u can send me one.
