<p>Hi, I came from China now study in America. There are many schools having need-blind financial aid. Is it really like what they claim: FA won't influence your application, or it will influence the application. Also, does the need-blind FA include international students? Thanks.</p>
<p>Need blind doesn’t mean that it “meets need.”</p>
<p>It sounds like you really want schools that are “need blind for all students, meets need, and meets need for int’ls”. </p>
<p>There arent’ many of these schools…I think there are about 6 schools like this? Hopefully someone will post the list…it’s a short list.</p>
<p>There are only six schools that are both NEED BLIND and MEET FULL NEED for international students. There are more that do this for students who are U.S. citizens.</p>
<p>These are the six “need blind” schools for ALL applicants and their overall acceptance rate (not just internationals)</p>
<p>Amherst 11.92%
Dartmouth 9.43%
MIT 8.95%
Princeton 7.86%
Yale 6.82%
Harvard 5.92%</p>
<p>Does anyone know their acceptance rates for int’ls? </p>
<p>I realize that even if someone could say…Dartmouth’s acceptance rate is 3% for int’ls, that stat is an average and won’t reflect the actual percentage for students from a country with a very large number of applicants. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t be surprised if the int’l acceptance rate for countries with lots of applicants was really low…like 1-2%.</p>
<p>“Hi, I came from China now study in America”</p>
<p>?? So are you an int’l student going to high school in the US? You will be considered an int’l applicant. If your app is put in the China pile with a gazillion other apps from that county, who knows what the acceptance rate is? How many Chinese applicants are there?</p>
