<p>I recently got waitlisted at Johns Hopkins, and although I live in the US, I am considered an international student seeking aid. I know that my status as an international applicant seeking aid basically killed my chances at Duke and Stanford, but I am wondering if it might have also affected the decision made by the JHU committee. </p>
<p>Does in anyone the JHU international policy, or if perhaps my status weighed my application down?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>found this on their FAQ's. . . .</p>
<p>Is financial assistance available for international students?</p>
<pre><code>Both need- and merit-based financial assistance is available for international applicants, although both types of assistance are limited. The admissions process for international students is need-aware, meaning the offer of admission is directly linked to the student's ability to meet expenses.
We are unable to admit an international financial aid candidate for whom we are unable to provide aid. If you are dependent on receiving assistance to attend Johns Hopkins, you should not apply under the Early Decision Plan, as merit awards are not made until April 1.

<p>Thank you!
I looked around, but I didn't find anything- then again I suck at searching.</p>
<p>I guess being waitlisted with this criteria is not as bad as I thought.</p>
