<p>I successfully EDed Grinnell(YES!!! I made it to the deadline!!!)
But because of my family circumstance, I asked for Financial Aid.</p>
<p>SO,
1. What happens to an international applicant if he/she EDed Grinnell and asked for Financial Aid?
2. Has Grinnell ever admitted any international ED applicant with financial aid? Is there a precedented case?</p>
<p>Thank you very much.</p>
<p>Go to grinnell.edu. On their front page, the top article is, "college sets plans to reduce student debt". If you click on "more" at the end of that article you'll find out more about this, including, "The college is moving to meet the full demonstrated need of select international students." I don't know what they mean by "select" and I don't know how it affects ED FA. The article also says the college is reducing the amount of loans that any student would carry.</p>
<p>Grinnell does admit international ED applicants with financial aid. I think the colleg has quotas for students from some countries in the world. The full demonstrated need for these students is met. Where are you from, Itranslate?</p>
<p>Thank you bethievt and skunk
to skunk,
I'm from Beijing, China.
I know Grinnell has a very close relationship with some schools in Nanjing, I think they had some programs. But for Beijing, so far I've heard of such things.</p>
<p>I'm feeling quite unsafe because Grinnell didn't admit any Chinese applicants in ED round I last year. </p>
<p>to bethievt,
''The college is moving to meet the full demonstrated need of selected international students"
what does it mean "moving to"? Is that a good sign?</p>
<p>Grinnell is a top LAC that enjoys one of the largest monetary endowments in the nation. As such, Grinnell admissions is need blind for U.S. applicants, and I'm sure they will give generous FA to international applicants.</p>
<p>If your resume is impressive, and Grinnell takes a liking to you, I wouldn't worry too much.</p>
<p>I can't say exactly what "moving to" means, time-wise. It must mean that they are planning to meet full demonstrated need at sometime in the future. It could mean they will do this for the incoming class, but I don't know that. The financial aid office would probably know. If you go on the website, there's a way to ask questions online.</p>
<p>From what I've read, they've said that they typically meet full need, but they don't announce that publicly. The reason they don't announce it is explain by the treasurer of student gov. Let me find that...</p>
<p>My</a> Money, Your Money, Our Money: SGA Treasurers’ Presentation » Grinnell College Student Government Association somewhere in there they talk about why we're need-sensitive and not need blind for international students, it's pretty interesting. Slide 8-10, 10 specifically about international aid.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
<p>I'm looking forward to seeing you guys and bethievt's son on the campus!</p>
<p>by the way what does need sensitive mean?</p>
<p>"need sensitive..." ?? I'm not entirely sure. It's the gray area between need blind/meeting full need and not.</p>

<p>Thank you
you guys are so warm-hearted!</p>
<p>by the way, this is the 1800</p>
<p>im for the class of 2011. I was international and I applied ED1. They met 100% of my need and I needed a lot.</p>
<p>Do they give almost full aid? Like 44k each year?</p>
