<p>what I mean that, which schools ACADEMICALLY do not consider International student's differently? regardless of financial aid.
to start off I think think of: </p>
<p>HYP
MIT</p>
<p>I am not sure what exactly you mean. That international students are treated the same as American students in the admission process instead of being a separate pool of applicants?</p>
<p>Maybe you could clarify that, and than you could explain why you think HYP and MIT match whatever your criteria is. For example, MIT's international admission rate is about 4% vs 16% for domestic student. How can you consider that "international blind"?</p>
<p>well ok not MIT then</p>
<p>but for HYP, it doesn't matter if you are international or not becuase for admissions, you will be evaluated on the same basis.</p>
<p>I think even for HYP, the admissions rate for internationals is lower than the domestic rate.</p>
<p>I don't know about Y and P, but at Harvard it's 5% vs 10%. </p>
<p>Top universities have to set the bars for international students higher because otherwise they would be flooded with international students. Let's say the top .5% of American high school seniors would be qualified to go to HYP. Let's say that's 25,000 students (about 23,000 students applied to Harvard in 2006). If you used the same bar for international students, about 500,000 more students worldwide would be qualified for HYP. If just 10% of them would actually be interested in attending, 67% of HYP's student body would be international...</p>
<p>oh dang the harvard admission officer at my school told me that it doesn't matter</p>
<p>Yale is one</p>
<p>that depends also on how "compatible" your high school is with the American system. For Cornell, international students who goes to American schools aren't treated any differently in admissions. And I know 3 students from my city in China (not a huge one by the way), who went to public Chinese schools and still got accepted by Cornell.</p>
<p>In case of Stanford, you will be evaluated with equal consideration, the place where you are separated is when financial aid is considered..And I think that is the last step...</p>
