Brown is need-aware for internationals?

<p>I never knew this before. I’ve always thought that Brown was need-blind, but apparently not. </p>

<p>“Brown will continue to consider an International student’s financial need when deciding to admit, wait list, or deny the applicant.”</p>

<p>This is so depressing. Can anyone confirm this? Is the website in need of updating or what? I really hope that that’s the case, because I would love to go to Brown but we need financial aid.</p>

<p>Brown * is * need-aware. No need to get depressed though, because Brown still tries to fulfill the needs of as many internationals as it probably can.</p>

<p>Yeah, after they’re accepted. What worries me is that if my app is just as good as someone else’s, but s/he doesn’t need finaid, that I will be rejected :(</p>

<p>No one’s chances are good rainbow. Whether or not this factors into your eventual acceptance/rejection – why worry about what you can’t control?</p>

<p>True. Okay, I will stop worrying haha there’s nothing I can do about needing financial aid. Thanks</p>
