Financial aid for an international sophomore?

Basically, I was waitlisted and rejected at all schools this year and didn’t recieve any acceptances… I am not very disappointed though because i know my ssat was too bad to get in…(40th percentile!). But I am not giving up and I will reapply and prepare for the test more. However, the only thing that worries me if I would be eligible for full financial aid as a sophomore AND an international student.

@nikolaanna, I received full financial aid from Andover and Groton as an international student applying for 10th grade. So, you definitely have a chance. I was also waitlisted last year from Andover. I was sad, of course, but also learned a lot and that helped me get accepted later on. I would advise you to look for need-blind schools (like Andover).

@maribrazil Where else did you apply last year? Were you accepted anywhere else? Would you mind sharing the lessons you learned since that first March 10 when you were rejected from Andover?

@CaliMex I only applied to Andover last year.
