<p>Hey guys, I have a question about my chances in the RD round. I don't know if my case is unique, but I'm a Canadian (Asian) living in Michigan (been living here for close to 6 years) and I requested quite a lot of financial aid from Columbia (family income is less than $70000). My stats/ECs are typical of most Columbia applicants, so they're nothing mind-blowingly extraordinary. If I did get deferred due mainly to financial aid, then what are my chances at being accepted into Columbia during spring?</p>
<p>they changed their policy from needblind to canadians to need aware for a reason.</p>
<p>If you live in the US as a permanent resident, then it’s need blind. </p>
<p>However, I am not sure if you’d be international applicant since you live in the US. </p>
<p>Did you make it clear you are a permanent resident?</p>
<p>^I’m actually here on a work visa, not a green card, so that would be a no on permanent residency.</p>
