International Students at disadvantage by applying to contract colleges?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I am aware that there was another post made on cc. But I really would like further verification.</p>

<p>Contract colleges-- more competitive for out of state and international students because SO many in state students apply, since they pay less for tuition? </p>

<p>Or is it that NYS students are at a disadvantage because so many of them apply, the out of state or international applicants shine because there are less of them?</p>

<p>this is the thread I mentioned:

<p>Any insight would be REALLY appreciated!!! :)</p>

<p>International students are disfavored in any of Cornell’s schools (in terms of admissions and financial aid) anyways like many other US schools so this doesn’t make a difference. The argument is in whether or not it’s harder for out of state domestic students to get into the contracts that in-staters</p>

<p>A Cornell admissions officer told me they are Need-Blind for internationals.
I don’t think internationals are disfavored by applying Fin-Aid now</p>
