<p>If the school is need blind, will low-income be advantageous even if I am an international student? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Many need blind schools aren’t even need blind for international students. So I’m going to have to go with no.</p>
<p>What about HYPS?</p>
<p>I believe they are, yes. If they truly are need-blind for you, then being low income will certainly help you.</p>
<p>No. Being a low income international will not be an advantage anywhere. The institutional goals applied to domestics are not the same for internationals. For an international the big advantage is being from a country with little representation.</p>
<p>Stanford is not need blind for intnls and H and Y have every intnl and their mother applying…the advantage at those is being a god.</p>
<p>Colleges like to see low income students because they’ve shown they can overcome adversity, not because they want to report that X% of their students come from poor families.</p>
<p>hahahahahahahahaha! I do like the idealistic, but this is just too well documented.</p>
