Nice Emails from Potential Programs

[DeVryGrad06]

Hello all,

 

Over the past few weeks I have been receiving emails from a program attempting to persuade me to choose their school. These emails have been saying some nice things about my application materials and even mention a few of the items specifically. I am not sure if I am going to accept their offer unless I am funded, so I was wondering what type of response I should give to these emails without sounding too committed?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would say that! Nicely, of course. Just say, "I really loved Your School, and would be very happy attending there. However, financial aid will be a big part of my decision, can you tell me what kind of funding you offer and when those decisions will be made?"

Thank you for the advice. Hopefully I worded my response correctly. I don't want to come off as greedy. Haha!

I have this same "issue" but most programs should be pretty understanding of this. Anyway, what's the harm in asking in a polite, reasonable way? The worst that can happen is for them to say they would be unable to offer funding.  Currently, I am waiting to hear back on funding from one school and I am on pins and needles...
