<p>Grinnell is a great school. Another terrific LAC that is very generous with aid for internationals is the College of Wooster in Ohio. They have strong academics and do very well at grad school placements. Their admission requirements are also somewhat less selective than GRinnell. <a href="http://www.wooster.edu%5B/url%5D">www.wooster.edu</a></p>
<p>Thanx, carolyn</p>
<p>How strong is bilology or engeneering in Grinnel?</p>
<p>Grinnell doesn't have engineering, very few LAC's do.</p>
<p>And I believe those that do have it, it's with the collaboration of other colleges in the area. 3/2 programs, isn't that what it's called... (no idea what it implies)</p>
<p>3/2 - You spend 3 years at the LAC and then 2 years at another university or college.</p>
<p>Unless I'm very much mistaken, I think Grinnell is need-blind in admissions but does not guarantee to meet full demonstrated need, just like Cornell.</p>
<p>I believe Grinnell is not need-blind.</p>
<p>Just found this:</p>
<p>It says:</p>
<p>The Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid will soon consider a proposal to eliminate need-blind admissions for international student applicants, and switch to the need-sensitive approach found at most selective liberal arts schools.</p>
<p>So it is still need-blind currently, but apparently they're considering a change in policy.</p>
<p>Carolyn, what do you think of Colgate?</p>
<p>hey,
u said u have an aid? could u pls tell me how u went about the applying. i am an international student at cleveland state univ.</p>
<p>hey, </p>
<p>i live in the UK and my parents earn around $100,000 due to the high exchange rate) but i still need financial aid. in the UK, taxes take up 40% of income and my parents still have to live! so i hope to be able to qualify for some sort of financial aid, though i understand if its not substancial. </p>
<p>Is it true that most public/state uni's don't offer financial aid to international students?</p>
<p>I believe it is true that state universities do not offer financial aid (or at least not full-tuition scholarships). I have been told that some public unis can grant about 3,000-5,000 but still cannot verify this.</p>
<p>what's the LAc about? and what is the full meaning.</p>
<p>LAC = Liberal Arts College.</p>
<p>Correct me if I'm wrong, but what I understand about LACs is this:</p>
<p>LACs offer a broad-based liberal curriculum where you get both breadth and depth - you take a wide selection of courses in various subject areas, but at the same time you major in one (or more) areas of concentration - which you normally have to declare by the end of your sophomore year.</p>
<p>The undergraduate colleges of arts and sciences at many universities are actually LACs, including Harvard College and Yale College, but since they are part of a large research university these universities are generally referred to as research universities.</p>
<p>there are exactly 6 intl need blind colleges
harvard princeton yale mit williams and middlebury</p>
<p>2 that are need blind when considering u for admission but may not have the funds for you
grinnell and cornell</p>
<p>didnt really look through the unis, but for the LACs these are very generous with intl aid too, but not need blind
