<p>it's probably a stupid question but anyway here it goes...... is there any sense in applying to those colleges if my family's annual income is around 10000$? I have 3.8 GPA and SAT of 1230 but my EC's are all counted in Mongolia (where I am from) because I have been in USA for only 5 month and a half? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Most (all?) schools, even those that are need-blind, are not need blind for internationals. Your ability to pay–or not to pay–will be a factor in your decision.</p>
<p>Would this student be considered an international applicant? I’m thinking it probably depends on the immigration status and eligibility for federal and state financial aid.</p>
<p>The title of the thread specifies he’s an international, unless I’m missing something.</p>
<p>oh yeah sorry I forgot to write I am J-1 exchange student. I was just wondering “ability to finance” means on the naviance. I started my applications very late. Even though all the colleges I am applying to are rolling-admissions, I missed the priority deadlines. Should I still apply for them or at least make it into the spring term? My first choice is Indiana University… And thanks!</p>
