International Admissions

<p>Are you sure Canadians are considered internationals? I remember reading on Harvard's website something like 'International applicants (students outside the US and Canada) use this application...' so I thought it might be the similar with Princeton.</p>

<p>International applicants is defined as nonresident aliens and includes Canadians. Canadians typically represent 20-25% of all internationals applicants.</p>

<p>ooohhh that's good. I know that some colleges like Northwestern consider financial aid for internationals separately.
Only 5% acceptance rate!?!?! that's reallly low :-(
And also, do you apply for aid on a year to year basis? becuase I live in california right now and I might get my greencard next year or later; changing the status and maybe price too!
Lastly, do all Ivys have binding financial aid for internationals?</p>

<p>thanks!!! (sorry for so many questions)</p>

<p>yeah.. all Ivys are need-blind for internationals!..</p>

<p>Brown isn't
Columbia isn't
Dartmouth isn't
Penn isn't
Cornell is but doesn't provides aid to all</p>

<p>:-( So, for Ivys, it is just Havard, Yale, Princeton. What abot colleges like Duke, MIT, Caltech...?? For Brown, Columbia, Dartmout, and Penn, is financial considered differently?? Like internationals will only recieved a certain percentage?? If that's true, then it sucks.</p>

<p>MIT was the first to offer need blind admission to internationals. Very few schools beyond Harvard, Yale, Princeton and MIT have such a program because of the cost. Amherst and Williams have recently joined them among LACs.</p>

<p>For most schools financial need will be a major factor in admitting international students. The financial aid budgets are already stretched at most institutions and very few have the resources (or wish to allocate the necessary resources) to fund international undergrads.</p>

<p>sometimes........IVY sucks big time!</p>

<p>Grinell, Williams and Middlebury are also generous with aid</p>
