<p>Is it true that they wont look at your ability to pay when evaluating ur apps if u are a canadian???????</p>
<p>you asked if they gave need-blind aid, did you mean need-blind admissions?</p>
<p>need-blind aid is sort of an oxymoron, unless your talking about merit scholarships and ivie's don't give them out.</p>
<p>You are mixing terminologies:</p>
<p>Need blind admissions means that the school will not take into consideration your ability to pay when making admissions decisions. Many of th ivies are need blind to u.s. citizens, u.s. permanent residents and citizens of canada and mexice.</p>
<p>Some schools that are need blind will meet 100% of your demonstrated need.</p>
<p>Demonstrated need is calculated as;</p>
<p>Cost of attendance (tuition, r&b, fees, books, etc) - EFC (expected family contribution) = demonstrated need.</p>
<p>Remember that demonstrated need is calculated using a variety of components: Federal aid (if eligible), loans, grants, scholarships, work study. Each school calculates demonstrated need differently</p>
<p>the following ivies are need blind for U.S. citizens, U.s. Permanent residents, residents of canada and mexico. they will also meet 100% of your demonstrated need</p>
<p>Harvard
yale
Princeton
Dartmouth</p>

<p>Columbia-Need blind and meets demonstrated need of students from canada</p>
<p>Does requesting financial aid affect my chances for admission if I am a foreign student?
Foreign students are those who do not fall into any of the following categories: citizens and permanent residents of the United States, citizens of Canada, persons granted refugee visas by the United States. Citizens of Canada will require visas to study in the United States but are not considered foreign for financial aid consideration. </p>
<p>At this time, financial aid for foreign students at Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is limited. However, each year several foreign students are admitted to Columbia with a financial aid package which covers the educational expenses that student and family are unable to cover. </p>
<p>As a foreign student, you should determine what amount, if any, you feel you and your family can afford to pay each year during your four years of study. If you feel that you will be unable to bear the entire cost on your own, you should apply for financial aid at the same time you apply for admission. If you are traveling to Columbia from another country, you will also want to consider your travel expenses. </p>
<p>Columbia has limited funding for foreign students applying either as first-years or transfers, and competition for these funds is very keen. If you are a foreign student admitted to Columbia with financial aid, you will continue to receive aid for each year that you demonstrate need; if you are a foreign student admitted without aid, you will not be eligible for aid at any time during your undergraduate studies. </p>
<p>Brown -while not need blind to canadians will meet 100% of your demonstrated need if admitted.- Brown meets full demonstrated need of all admitted students who have applied for financial aid. Financial aid for foreign citizens, however, is limited. If you wish to be considered for financial aid at any time during your four years at Brown, you should apply at the time of admission. All financial aid at Brown is awarded solely on the basis of financial need, which is determined annually by our analysis of applications submitted by students and their families. <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/applyingtobrown/internationalstudents.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/applyingtobrown/internationalstudents.html</a></p>

<p>I'll say yes and yes!</p>
<p>need blind- my financial package was delayed for columbia, it arrived (I tracked it) the day before admission decision releases. which I assume by that time they had already been finished with the decisions (also my stats are below average, they'd have had every reason to reject me if they weren't need blind).</p>
<p>Need based- columbia stated that they are need blind and need based for canadians. I received a package that covered most of my tuition and room costs. I am able to attend at the same cost as going to a local university.</p>

<p>another thing, columbia's not need blind to canadian PR, citizen only</p>
