Parent of Two, Highly Knowledgeable in Financial Aid Matters - ASK ME ANYTHING!

@Dolaring you have some obstacles you need to understand.

There are only seven colleges here that are both need blind for admissions AND meet full need for all international students.

They are:

  • Harvard University. “Harvard has a need-blind application process for all students, domestic and international. …
  • Princeton University. …
  • MIT. …
  • Yale University. …
  • Dartmouth College - since 2022. …
  • Amherst College. …
  • Bowdoin College - since 2022.

As you can see…these are highly competitive for admissions with very very low acceptance rates in general and even lower for international students.

So…either you will be applying to a college that is need aware…meaning your level of financial need will be considered when your application is reviewed. Or you will be applying to a college that doesn’t guarantee to meet full need for all accepted international students…OR BOTH.

So…let’s start with your location (because some locations are more difficult for international students), and your stats (GPA and SAT/ACT score)

Honestly…you should start your own thread about your own college search and selection. You will get much better advice by doing so…

Oh wait…you already HAVE a thread started. You received some good advice there. Please read it again. I a.so just tagged a couple of posters to respond to that other thread…they might have some ideas!
