<p>Hi, I was just wondering if anybody knows whether UR admission is needblind for internationals? Like affordability is not taken into consideration when reviewing my application but the university is not committed to meeting full financial aid.</p>
<p>I also applied for scholarship (just about an hour ago actually) but I dont know if the TOEFL can be waived if:
- My SAT CR score is 750, total score >2300
- I have been studying in an English-speaking institution in an english-speaking country for the past four years
- My English grades in school for the past four years have always been an A (reflected in official transcript)</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>confused, I may be wrong (and if so, I'll be corrected by Admissions), but I'm pretty sure they're need blind, but are not committed to meeting 100% of the need. </p>
<p>Financial aid for internationals is something that the university will be working on a lot in the near future, to help increase the presence of international students on campus.</p>
<p>You still need to take the TOEFL...
My mom asked and the policy is regardless of your citizenship, if you stayed in this country for less than 4 years, you have to take it.
So even I have to take the TOEFL test ;(</p>
<p>but don't worry, usually your school ESOL department will wavier your fee for the first time you take the test.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>Hello all--</p>
<p>I'm sorry that these issues are unclear. </p>
<p>-We waive TOEFL if your SAT Critical Reading is 600 or better, so confused_vnese is fine without it. Smalllab, I don't know your situation enough to comment, however, if English is not your native language, and you don't have better than the 600 SAT-CR, it is to YOUR benefit to take TOEFL because it helps eliminate concerns we might have about your English proficiency. </p>
<p>-Admission of non-US citizens is NOT need-blind, however, if we admit a non-US citizen, we do meet 100% of of eligibility for need-based aid. </p>
<p>As always, post any questions and we'll try to get them answered for you.</p>
<p>sorry to be questioning, but do you really "meet 100% of of eligibility for need-based aid"? is this a new policy for this year? i know a lot of students from my country (viet nam) who applied for financial aid and got admitted but was NOT given any aid at all.</p>
<p>Yes, masterpeace, this is new for this year. Through last year, we admitted but didn't necessarily meet need. We're flipping it around this year. If admitted, you will get aid provided you have documented need. This will mean that admission decisions will look different this year than last.</p>
