<p>As captioned. What are these schools' policy on financial aid for international transfer students?</p>

<p>Amherst, Smith, Wellesley, Cornell, Brown and UVA. Thanks!</p>

<p>Wellesley admits no international transfer students.
Brown is need-blind but notoriously hard. About %5-7 acceptance rate. And these are just the admittance rates. Fin.aid must be like %1 or something when combined.
Cornell, Amherst and U.Va are need-based. Cornell and Amherst are relatively hard. No actually, they are quite hard. U.Va is relatively easy when compared with the others. </p>

<p>I don't know about Smith but they too are probably need-based because there are only a handful of need-blind places. So they are either need-based or no international FA. </p>

<p>And don't apply for Amherst. I'll be doing it =) </p>

<p>Anyway, bon chance!

<p>scsazak, you'll be wasting your money applying to Amherst. Amherst only takes in 10 students from an applicant pool of 210-250. Due to the fact that they are need-aware for internationals, you will most likely get rejected since the school can't fund you.</p>

<p>I suggest you apply to Middlebury (your school of choice), since they are need-blind for international transfers. In addition, you want to go there more than any other school; by applying elsewhere, you would essentially be wasting money, wasting your own and admissions staff's time, and taking other people's space--if accepted, which i highly doubt.</p>

<p>really? are Brown and Midd really need-blind? are you sure? somehow i get the impression that they're not...</p>

<p>from the middlebury website:
We will be unable to enroll transfers for the fall of 2008.</p>

<p>For TRANSFER students, Brown is NOT need blind for anyone:

<p>Also, the OP is asking how much FA is given to Intl. students. Need blind, while also imporant, refers to whether or not a school considers financial need when making decisions about acceptance, it has nothing to do with how much FA is given.</p>

<p>Since this thread is actually getting some attention, could anyone who knows about international transfer admissions chip in on it in general: where to apply to, etc?</p>
