<p>thanks.</p>
<p>by the way, for those 7 need-blind schools also for Int'ls, is there a policy that a student from family income less than $60,000 does not have to pay tuition?</p>
<p>scaredy cat, Columbia isn't need blind, is it? For internationals?</p>
<p>No, it isn't. Columbia will meet 100% of your need if you're admitted, but its admission of international students is way more selective if you apply for aid.</p>
<p>Kerouac Cat is right, Chlormel. And Scarecrowluv, I'm sorry but there is no such policy, otherwise we'd all just apply to those schools, wouldn't we?</p>
<p>Wow, dunnin. For real? I'm not sure, is SAT still necessary when youre transferring from one US college to another? i've taken English 101 at my old campus...</p>
<p>I am doing EAs to 4-6 unis. Will my chances of earning financial aid there increase in any SIGNIFICANT way (I am an int'l student with 80% need)?</p>
<p>I think so, unless you're applying to need-blind colleges like Harvard and Middlebury.</p>
<p>Why not at need-blind schools..?! Harvard certainly not bcoz it doesn't have EA or ED. However, Middlebury has ED and chances should increase there if they do thru EA at lower schools.</p>
<p>thx!...............</p>
<p>However, applying ED to schools just 'to increase your chances of getting in' is risky business.
As someone pointed out before, even need-blind schools that promise to meet 1oo % of your financial need might end up being too expensive, simply because these schools consider that you can pay more than what you and your family think you can pay.
I wouldn't advise any international students that need a lot of aid to apply ED; do your job right, study hard for those standardized tests, work hard in school, and you will get those opportunities.</p>
<p>They're out there, it's certainly not impossible.</p>
<p>Keep an eye out for liberal arts colleges like Williams, Amherst, Colby, Colgate, Hamilton, Vassar, Grinnell, Middlebury, etc. You can get pretty sweet deals here.
And also some of the Ivies, like the ones mentioned before.</p>
<p>Competition is tough and this is not going to be easy. But if you work hard you can definitely fulfill your dreams (in this case, at least..).</p>

<li>tires to address the whole thread at large *</li>
</ul>
<p>^ I got in ED with 100% FA at Gettysburg college. Yeah - whole 47k of it. So I'll contradict your statement and advice all international students to apply ED to colleges that offer FA in ED to international students (only a handful like Dickinson, Gettysburg and Bates actually do). The worst that can happen? Transfer to the RD pool. So try it. And good luck.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if there are any governmental sites that offer similar advice for graduate students.</p>
<p>thanks a lot , really i need a wep like that</p>
<p>Hey does anyone have a list of colleges that either waives your application fee or doesnot require it?</p>
<p>Hope this helps, Gurung</p>

I have no idea where to start looking to find out about what such courses would entail! Or maybe just direct me to the appropriate forum to post this question?</p>
