<p>Hey.</p>

<p>I'm an international student with a very HIGH financial need and I would like to know which of these 2 colleges is better in academics and which is known for giving more financial aid.</p>

<p>I also want you to know I got rejected last year by Trinity, probably because I had a very high financial aid. I have better my application since then. Improved my essays with the help of someone, my SAT score, and my ECs.</p>

<p>Which would you guys advise me I should apply RD? Trinity or Connecticut? Both seem to me like good colleges, but I really don't know which one is the best.</p>

<p>My other options for applying are: Oberlin, Lafayette, Macalester, Grinnell, Brandeis and Colorado college. </p>

<p>I just have money to add only one between trinity or connecticut. I appreciate your help</p>

<p>Most financial aid for international students at Trinity goes to recruited squash players. I’d skip it, especially if you didn’t get in last year.</p>

<p>Trinity is renowned for their fantastic financial aid, both domestic and abroad. If I were you, I’d definitely give it a shot and apply again. As far as academics go, both colleges are incredibly strong. Trinity is slightly more prestigious, and offers a tad more in terms of internships, etc.</p>
