Need blind

<p>i needed some help finding colleges which are NEED BLIND to INTERNATIONALS.</p>

<p>I know some:
Harvard
Princeton
Williams
Yale
Amherst
MIT
Dartmouth</p>

<p>Are there more? And correct me if these are NOT need blind.</p>

<p>I believe that’s a complete list. </p>

<p>Remember though that just because a school is not need-blind doesn’t mean they won’t choose to admit a student with high need. It just means they may consider need in making decisions, but if it’s a generous school that meets full-need, and the applicant is a student they’d like to have, then of course that student could be accepted.</p>

</p>

<p>really?? whoa. So i’m applying to amherst and if there’s a applicant with similar stats and all other things, and if they want to choose another applicant over me, they choose it on the basis of aid?</p>

<p>No, what I’m saying is that even schools that are <em>not</em> need blind, may still accept a student with high need. I am talking about colleges not on the list above.</p>

<p>Just because a student has high need does not mean they won’t be given serious consideration at a need-aware school. Yes, need may factor into a decision at such a school, but it’s not necessarily the determining factor.</p>

<p>Amherst is need-blind, so that suggests that need won’t be a factor in admission decisions at all. </p>

<p>Sometimes, though, students with high need might overlook the fact that even at need-aware colleges, plenty of students with high need are also accepted for admission ad can get excellent aid packages depending on the college’s FA policies.</p>

<p>Remember even at schools that are need blind to international students, the international pool of applicants is very large and there are only a small number of seats for international students.</p>

<p>Also look at schools where you stand a chance of getting good merit money and as Rent stated, schools that will look at stellar students who have a high need (this may mean that you may have to come down a tier or two, but you are looking for funding).</p>

<p>yeah, i’m having trouble finding colleges that give out A LOT of aid (my family contribution will be only 3.5K max!!) AND have a not so competitive applicant pool.</p>

sorry, i missed out the “not” in your first post. My bad!!</p>
