<p>if NYU Stern had that kind of financial aid I think I would easily turn down Brown Columbia etc.. but Brown started its financial aid program for foreigners after the 100 million donation.. Columbia's ranked 6th in the cheapest top univs.. if I could get scholarships from companies that would be great but I already lost my chance once on the Samsung scholarships (given to 100 Koreans-highschoolers, college students and grads-every year).. hmm ..</p>
<p>yeh nyus financial aid is horrrible..</p>
<p>thats why i really want to go to HYP with just standard scores standard extras and maybe a little over standard essays hh dont stand much of a chance tho. might as well attend columbia brown etc.</p>
<p>hm... but columbia's not need-blind when it comes to admitting international students. just something to keep in mind... it could possibly come up.</p>
<p>and columbia is just as hard..they're really picky..</p>
<p>yeah, they totally are. their decisions seem almost capricious sometimes. nothing's really guaranteed for them.</p>
<p>back to bracing ourselves for rejection. i won't get my hopes up unrealistically for harvard. but a decent liberal arts college wouldn't be out of the question, and i'd be happy with that.</p>
