<p>Anyone knows the percent of people who apply for Financial Aids?
much difference in US and international students?</p>
<p>I don’t know, but WHY IS STANFORD SO STINGY 
The only top 5 uni without int’l need-blind aid.</p>
<p>Personally, I cannot afford 50k a year, and it’s not like it’s hard enough to get in as an international already 
They are probably reserving their aid for Africans … sucks for others.</p>
<p>^That’s a new one!</p>

<p>1051/1703 is about 61 percent.</p>
<p>P.S. StarsAligned, I wouldn’t call Stanford stingy. Their average financial aid package is over $40,000!!!</p>
<p>hahaa yeah never heard that one before…</p>
<p>I am looking at it from an international point of view.
Perhaps of US citizens. For internationals, why can’t Stanford overlook financial aid? Even Dartmouth does.</p>
<p>Your neighbor to the north only sends a handful a year, bearing with Stanford’s acceptance rate, and now I have to worry about money. >: (</p>
<p>starsaligned,
it sucks for us (internationals)…
you are applying EA too?
are you gonna apply for FA then?</p>
<p>If you apply for aid and get in, you will of course have your need (based on International Student Declaration of Finances, etc…) met. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think Dartmouth is majorly competitive among international students for precisely this reason.</p>
<p>In any case, I think getting into Stanford with FA as an international will be about as hard as getting into HYPM as an international. The non need-blind policy for international kids just makes it slightly easier for people who don’t need FA to attend (which I think is still harder than if you are a US citizen).</p>
<p>^ Agreed. Unfortunately most of us aren’t rolling in dough.
No I’m not applying for EA … Stanford is not too high on my application list because of how hard it would be for me to get in.
If I finish my other apps in time, maybe RD.
And yes I will have to apply for FA because I would go bankrupt at 55k/year.</p>
