<p>Lets not start to point out wealthytrinity's spelling/grammar mistakes. Maybe he/she is just too very depressed about the fact that his/her parents have to pay so much, thus disliking int'ls. Lets just try to be kind to him/her. Maybe when he/she gets to yale, s/he realizes how integral a part of community they int'ls are...and changes his/her views...</p>
<p>OP is either troll, or an extremely bigoted person. Let's assume the latter.</p>
<p>Tell me, because you were born into a wealthy family, that gives you the right to go to a top school right? Or just because you were born into an American family, you should get financial aid right? </p>
<p>"ever heard of the Andrew Mellon scholarship fund....belongs to a girl in my class."
How old are you? Bragging about how rich your classmates are? </p>
<p>and dude, your "friends college dreams" are not being "stiffled", since HYP are need-blind. Furthermore, there are schools like Stanford that are only need-blind for domestic applicants. You think international students need to be any more disadvantaged in the admissions process?</p>
<p>I go to a private school with a lot of rich kids too and none of my classmates are as snobbish and bigoted as you are.</p>
<p>"and i think i am far more educated than a lot of people on this site."
Nevermind, troll.</p>
<p>Can we agree that he is a troll and stop fueling this thread?</p>
<p>^^Yeah! S/he is definitely a troll..</p>
<p>lol again.
I still don.t get the OP's recent post's meaning.

because i go to one of the best schools in the world.
and my parents will have to end up paying for people like you to go to school.

What exactly you want to point out?
And, you are paying your own fee, how will that be counted as paying for others?
As for privately funded Scholarships, you think people get those for free or JUST like that?
And, US citizens are not the only fund providers.

I don't know how much educated you are, but one can see how you write.
No further comments.</p>

I forgot the exact number, but Yale spends somewhere in the neighborhood of $60K-$100K per student per year. That's less than they charge for tuition, room and board. So in the end, you are not even fully paying for your own education, let alone the education of others.</p>
<p>lol (10 char)</p>
<p>@ b@r!um<br>
good point</p>
<p>OP's either pathetic or desperate. Or both.
'like people that actually pay their american taxes' FYI we don't have access to federal funds and institutional endowments have nothing to do with taxpayers</p>
<p>This still looks way too made up for me. I think author is deliberately provoking people 8)</p>
<p>"and my parents will have to end up paying for people like you to go to school."</p>
<p>Yes your parents are paying for me to go to an American school.
Send them my regards.</p>
<p>Not every international needs aid-money, stupid.</p>
<p>WEALTHYTRINITY: READ THIS.
You probably go to TRINITY SCHOOL in NEW YORK, seeing your username.............. whichever it doesn't matter. I also go to another prep school in America to which my parents also pay over $40,000 each year, and I'm an international. Oh, please. Most private elite high schools in NYC that you seem to be soooo proud of aren't even the best in the states like you think, honey. You seem rather sheltered by your whole NYC private school "eliticism" or whatever, but there are these things called PREP BOARDING schools OUTSIDE OF new york city, and they're kind of considered better than any private day schools in the big apple. And if you go to these schools -too bad you didn't get the chance to!- you will see plenty of loaded international students(because it's boarding, and they make up 30% of student body) who don't take away the money your parents donated. In fact, we pay more than our fellow American classmates, because that's just the law. If you take that attitude to your whatever future Ivy you will be attending, many RICH ELITE internationals will hate you. Yes, I chose my school over Chapin.</p>
<p>If you still feel sick over poor intls receiving aid over your American friends, why don't you take the issue to your parents/uncles/relatives who must be on some board of trustees on some ivies, i think that'd be much more effective</p>
<p>It is super simple.
Don't pay the tuition. it's that simple. don't pay for YOUR OWN TUITION, oops, sorry, i mean, intl's tuition. <em>gee, feeling so guilty</em> please please please, i beg you, don't pay!!!! i feel so guilty!!!
you're way far so educated!!!!
why do u need to be educated? you're educated already!!!
Don't you think intls actually pay for a whole bunch of citizens who have the priority of receiving fin. aid? go to a public school and see what tuition disparity is like, mind you.
a whole bunch of ppl dont need to go to prep schools but still make it to ivies. u juz did not have the guts.
i can speak this and this and that. and this and that and that make me educated. hahahaha
oh, i'm feeling so guilty!!!! guilty!!!</p>
<p>we actually deserve that fA</p>
<p>Wow you really need better education.</p>
<p>Have you ever considered internationals are paying way more than domestic students? Have you regarded why we are paying more? Have you ever thought of internationals who actually aren't getting any fin. aid? Do you know why? If you dont...plz stop messing up around here</p>
<p>You do realize how much more qualified is international applicant's pool?
Do you know admission rate for MIT is between 1 and 5% for international students while about 2-3 times higher for permanent residents and citizens?</p>
<p>Do you know there are maybe 10 schools offering maybe 1000 places with financial aid to citizens? It gives some 30 000 000 total help. I don't want to even calculate how funny part of the US income it is. It is a cheap price for training scientists who well... solve many of your problems costing much more than 30 million a year.</p>
<p>There is plenty people much smarter than you who decide to fund very selected pool of international students. You should trust them a little, that they have some reasons.
There is no free lunch in this world, if they pay money for international students, it means this money gets back to US society through the trained student's work.</p>

</p>
<p>Actually not quite true. The international admit rate for MIT last year was 3.90% and for US applicants it was 14.21% making it well more than 3 times higher.</p>
<p>That being said, I agree that the OP is trolling for outrage, and catching heaps of it.</p>
<p>This is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. The USA is a country of immigrants, that has been made great because of the knowledge that immigrants have brought there. How much native American blood do you have in you? Not much, if any, I'm sure. </p>
<p>How much of the tax money that your parents pay goes to international students? Think about it, it's probably less than a dollar a year. </p>
<p>I want you to read this sentence that you wrote
"anyway as intel students dont you feel guilty you are stealing aid money from actual citizens--like people that actually pay their american taxes--AMERICANS THAT CANT AFFORD TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO COLLEGE, and as international students you steal our (citizens) money for school. "</p>
<p>It makes no sense. Either way you pay to go to the university, and the university decides what to do with that money. International students still have to pay for college, so their money goes to the same place as yours.</p>
<p>Lastly, if an international student is accepted to a university in place of an American, it's for one reason and one reason only - that they are smarter and better qualified than you.</p>
<p>Edit - Yes, I am an American citizen.</p>
