I received an extra 25,000 to my scholarship! Harris has been the ONLY program that has shown me they are willing to invest in my dream! I am more than humbled. I will be accepting my offer! I toured the campus yesterday with my Jenny, it’s magical. I am sending everyone love and well wishes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I wait on my scholarship reconsideration request, I’m wondering how feasible it is to make some money while I’m there. I think this depends on where you live. I live in Berkeley and the avg rate is 18- 22 an hour. I make 19 as a research assistant and 30 as a development coordinator doing research.

Skipper18542 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Update on my end. I got an email from them regarding revised aid and they refused to even increase me a single penny!! I was expecting at least a $5000 increase given the massive cost of the program. And even if not that then at least something, but they did not give me a single cent increase in aid. I was very disappointed by that, but honestly I should have expected it given the fact that they are not that well known for being generous. Anyways, I turned them down to accept an offer from UCLA Luskin. Anyone have any updates on their end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad that at least one person was able to get an increase in their funding. They must really want you go to there if they boosted your funding by $25,000. If you don't mind me asking, how much are they offering in total? Anyways, congratulations on Harris!!! I hope that you enjoy the next two years.

AdAstra2020 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 A lot of people individually messaged me over the Whatsapp group links and google doc for housing but since it's almost deadline day and I won't be checking GradCafe much anymore I'll drop it to everybody here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hq990OkuN6g7dH2lyaRmz7?fbclid=IwAR3WDqnf-5TUYDKwvPQh8onEv-XSa5wFCnFJiIpJ5zPi_qBx0dcfeAv4HUo https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1ZCCxN9xaG-v5CDKw9il-a872faWonC41B-AMalIRRvo/htmlview Google Doc can't be edited on your laptop, only your phone. On a parting note: Excited to see everyone who've accepted their offers on campus this fall! And to those who've chosen other destinations, good luck! GradCafe's been a great help to me over the last year so thanks to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildchartermage Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Gave me an extra $10k for a total of $35K. I guess their offer can't compete against HKS and Yale's offer. Looks like it's off to HKS for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undecided22 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hey Ad Astra, I tried joining the WhatsApp group to the link but it tells me I cannot join because it’s full I didn’t realize there was a limit to the number of participants in a WhatsApp group, is there another way to join?
