<p>I really need a few more colleges…</p>
<p>Howz Richmond with aid???</p>
<p>They offer a limited number of need-based financial aid grants to international students which then apply for all 4 years. Worth giving it a try.</p>
<p>Thanx blue_box. Could u suggest a couple more colleges???</p>
<p>Look at UT Dallas. (I am sorry if you feel offended by this suggestion).
UT Dallas is a well funded new school. Very nice campus with lots of opportunities for undergrads. I know that they have given very good FA packages to students from India. Don’t know much about their business/econ program.</p>
<p>OT: University of Houston is another Texas underdog. I visited UH a few months to talk to a CS prof. What she and her team do at UH is far more interesting than what takes place in the CS department at nearby Rice.</p>
<p>What I am observing is that some of the lesser known schools have better real world connections than Ivory towers we all want to climb.</p>
<p>harshal: I’m not totally familiar with tier 2/3 schools, you also might want to try the college search and selection forum. I remember there was a thread there somewhere about colleges that offer a lot of aid to international students.</p>
<p>Thanx a lot blue_box. Just one thing. Are there any tier 1 schools that give aid to internationals??? I’m thinking of applying ED to Cornell, but that’s about it. Any others??? (You might suggest UPenn, and a friend got into Wharton with a full ride a year back, but his stats were like, out of this world. I think UPenn would be a major reach for me, so i doubt I’ll apply there.) I’m thinking in terms of colleges like UVa or Umich, but getting put off by their aid policies for international students.</p>
<p>Cornell is now need-blind to Indian students, I believe, with the Tata Scholarship. UVa and UMich don’t offer aid to internationals. UPenn does, and gary7 did get aid there, but its very difficult. Other than that, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst are all need-blind. Williams and Georgetown will give you as much aid as you need if you get admitted, though the amount of aid you require will count towards your admission decision.</p>
<p>Its best to check each school’s individual website and check their financial aid policies for international students.</p>
<p>Ok thanx a ton. Are u sure about Georgetown though??? Coz on one of my earlier threads you’d said Georgetown is need-blind but then a couple of posts later you said it isn’t. I’m not trying to point out a mistake or anything, just wanna be sure coz i think i’ll apply there if it is need-blind. Thanx again</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>From what I understand, need won’t factor into the decision, but they’ll consider you for only a limited no. of need-based scholarships, so it might be difficult to get the aid you require.
This is what I understand from the paragraphs above. Posting on the Georgetown forum would be a better idea.</p>
<p>Just realized, post 28 and 30 contradict each other wrt. Georgetown. You really should ask at the Georgetown forum.</p>
<p>Ok I need to know where to apply ED now. I was considering Cornell but they rarely meet full demonstrated need or anywhere close for internationals, so I’m in a bit of a fix. Just have a look at my list and suggest-
Cornell
Villanova
Georgetown
Washington in St. Louis
Wooster
Richmond
Amherst
Colgate
Williams
Other suggestions are also welcome. Thanx</p>
<p>Try out University of Central Florida. Good match.</p>
<p>Ok just to make it clear I wanna do business or econ for my undergrad (1st choice is business)</p>
