International Student applying to Midwestern

Members do not see this ad.

While filling out my supplemental application I was shocked to read the following:

Students who are not a U.S. citizen or a Permanent Resident must provide documentation verifying that sufficient funds (388K) have been deposited in a bank inside the United States to cover all expenses of attending for the entire length of the program, including living expenses.
Midwestern will no longer be accepting private loans as proof of funding for issuance of the F-1 visa. Effective immediately, all accepted matriculants need to provide proof through a U.S. bank statement that they have all four years
(or program length) of funding in a U.S. bank account

So basically I'm screwed and even if I can in I wont be able to go, who in their right mind expects a student to have 388K sitting in a bank account.

If you know more information on the matter or have something to suggest, please let me know.

That is why I waited 6 years to get my green card before applying...

This was discussed last week here in another thread which I can not find.

It is what it is. Some of us called and confirmed it with them over the phone.

It is 388 and considering the exchange rate, it will be something above 420.
