<p>[1] How many Canadians are accepted each year?</p>
<p>[2] Are Canadians treated the same as domestic applicants in regards to financial aid?</p>
<p>Answer to 2: Princeton treats EVERYONE, regardless of citizenship or country of application, the same way when it comes to financial aid.</p>
<p>cevonia, really? So they don't impose a cap on international admits?</p>
<p>They don't cap the number eligible to recieve aid, no. They might (I'd guess probably) do on international admits in general. Put it another way: applying for aid should not change the likelihood of your admission.</p>
<p>It does cevonia, why do you think being rich helps?
HYPSM will choose a qualified rich kid over an equally qualified poor kid. Of course they want diversity too, but applying for financial aid will lower yer chances slightly especially if yer international.</p>
<p>seth blue: Actually, an equally qualified poor kid is more disadvantaged than a rich kid, so acheiving equal status may indicate that the poor kid worked harder.</p>
<p>I hardly think that Princeton cares about an extra 20-40 grand a year. I mean, the fact that they have gotten rid of loans and dont take home equity into account shows that they care more about attracting top notch students than about money. With an endowment greater than the GDP of many African countries, you can afford to do so.</p>
<p>Being rich only helps if it means you have connections with Princeton or donated serious amounts of money. Anyone who's family earns between 20k and 200k is basically in the same boat. Those from higher socio-economics groups get in more often because they've had access to better schooling and prep.</p>
