<p>Hi!
I'm an non-U.S. citizen living in the states and I'm applying to Exeter and Andover as an </p>
<p>international student requesting for financial aid. I know my chances of acceptance are </p>
<p>going to be low, but I was wondering if any international student actually got accepted to </p>
<p>these schools with financial aid? Also, is it possible for me to be accepted, but not given </p>
<p>any financial aid?</p>
<p>bump! (10char)</p>
<p>Yes, there are international students on FA in these schools, but very few compared with US students. If you are applying for FA and can demonstrate clear financial need, most likely they may not admit you unless they decide to offer you the necessary financial support.</p>
<p>oh… that’s not really my case. it’s going to be hard for our family to pay the tuition and such…
thanks for the reply anyways!</p>
<p>Are you a legal alien though if you’re living in the States? Because in that case you should not be applying as an international, and should have a greater chance at financial aid.</p>
<p>Do you have to be a legal alien or a green card holder to be considered non-international?</p>
<p>i’m legal, but not permanent. if i understood you correctly.
i’m not a green card holder or anything along those lines.
also, i actually asked an AO whether i would be considered as
an international or not. and to tell you the truth, the AO wasn’t really
sure.
from my memory, i don’t think there were any places during the application
where i had to state whether i was an international or not.</p>
<p>What mhmm meant was a “green card holder”. But yes, an F1/B1/whatever Visa makes you a legal resident too I guess. But a green card holder is ultimately an American citizen.</p>
<p>So if you’re not, then coming from a underrepresented country helps (somewhere in Africa, Europe, Central Asia or Latin America). Koreans, Chinese and Indians have very slim chances.</p>
<p>Canadian citizens are considered domestic at some schools.</p>
<p>Also, if your parents file US taxes, it’s possible for you to get aid (regardless of your citizenship).</p>
