<p>Do you think it is not a good idea for international student to apply the Brown for Early Decision with financial aid or “with financial aid plus with PLME”?</p>
<p>Any comments will be highly appreciated.</p>
<p>PLME is extremely difficult to get into but as far as I know, it can’t hurt.</p>
<p>Just be aware that Brown is need-aware for international students. There are internationals who need aid who are accepted – but there are some who are denied simply based on finances. Make sure to apply to schools that are financial need blind for internationals.</p>
<p>I would say wait because Brown takes into account need-based aid for INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS only</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that applying for PLME doesn’t hurt you in any way, however, as others have said, applying for aid as an international is a different story. If you’re willing to pay any amount to go to Brown, go for it.</p>
<p>I have American Citizenship (born in LA), but I currently live in Canada. Would applying for financial aid STILL affect my chances of admittance.</p>
<p>As I understand it, if you are an American citizen then you should be fine – Brown is financial need blind for American citizens.</p>
<p>For the American citizen thing, I’m pretty sure they’re still need-blind, but you may need to call they’re finaid department to figure out what tax forms to send in, because I don’t remember an option for non-US tax forms (there may have been, and i’m just forgetful).</p>
<p>Does anyone know if applying for ED decreases chances for Financial Aid for International Applicants?</p>
