<p>Would Dartmouth be a “lower” tier school for me? Or is Dartmouth just as hard to get into?</p>
<p>cornell is not need blind for internationals, and dartmouth is in no way a “lower” tier school for you. in fact, it is high selective.</p>
<p>Hmm quick question here…if anyone has an idea…how much harder is it to get into Stanford as an intl needing FuLL AID? Is it nearly impossible with my stats?</p>
<p>University Of Chicago has a better Economics program in my personal opinion, because they tend to not lean on the keynsian side. I would apply to UC and Stanford.</p>
<p>As Madshock said check which schools are need-blind and meet full demonstrated need for international students. This matters. You need a full ride. It isn’t going to do you any good to be accepted to a school you can’t afford to attend.</p>
<p>Beyond that, find out which schools, if any, do not distinguish between their international and national applicants. I was surprised to find out on another thread that UPenn might not, although I’m not completely convinced I interpreted their wording correctly. Typically the international and national pools are separate and it is harder to gain admittance from the international pool.</p>
<p>HYP and upenn are need-blind to canadians, but stanford is need aware in admission. Is it even worth applying to Stanford considering how hard it will be? Although Uchicago is need-aware, I figured that I may still have a fair shot at it…I heard that UCs don’t offer need based FA O:…</p>
