<p>Since the majority of intl. applicants apply for financial aid, is that true? Someone told me that, but I doubt it...</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>Yes. Almost all colleges are not need-blind for international students, so needing less financial aid will increase your chances.</p>
<p>^^^yes, particularly those schools that are expanding their global presence. Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin (LACs) for instance.</p>
<p>If you are an international student and you need financial aid, your chances of acceptance are lower.</p>
<p>Amherst is need-blind to internationals so no, your chances are the same there.</p>
<p>(oh no I’m not an international student, I was just wondering.)</p>
<p>I hate to say this but if you are an international student applying for financial aid, you are pretty much screwed.</p>
