Your chances are good IF YOU DO NOT NEED FINANCIAL AID… meaning can pay the full $60,000+ per year

@katliamom i mean they clearly site on their website that they do not offer financial aid to international students, so yeah :slight_smile:

@BrKmNk – you’d be surprised how many international students miss that – or don’t really believe it. I think you have a decent chance of getting in. Good luck. They’re both amazing universities and you will have the time of your life.
