<p>Is really true that your economic situation do not matter for need-blind schools such as HYPW?</p>
<p>"does not matter"</p>
<p>What schools are really need -blind for internationals?</p>
<p>das222:I heard that Harvard,Yale,Princeton and Williams are need-blind for international.</p>
<p>^..Yes they are...MIT is there as well..
And soon to join are Amherst and Stanford..(Dunno when, though)..</p>
<p>If you can pay, CMU and Purdue are pretty much lock-ins (even more so if you're a girl!).</p>
<p>I suppose the ability to pay would help you even at non need-blind LAC's.</p>

<p>At least that's what they say in public. But what goes behind the curtains....</p>
<p>Yeah, unfortunately that's totally out of our control</p>
<p>Middlebury is also need blind for international students.</p>
<p>Financial aid policy for international students sucks. I understand that we are not eligible for federal and state aid because we do not pay taxes to the U.S. government; but a lot of aid, established by private money, also requires U.S. citizenship.</p>
<p>I am trying to go to one of the small, liberal arts colleges. They are less selective than the Ivy League but the quality of their education is good. Most of them meet 100% of the demonstrated need of international students.</p>
<p>Some schools you can look into:</p>
<ol>
<li>Hamilton</li>
<li>Whitman</li>
<li>Amherst</li>
<li>Williams</li>
<li>Reeds</li>
<li>Rhodes</li>
<li>Lafayette</li>
</ol>
<p>I think UC schools do not want international students............</p>
<p>What are you basing that assumption on?</p>
<p>^ Probably on the fact that they don't provide substantial financial aid like other colleges do.</p>
<p>I am Honduran .. The cost of a United State's university is insanely expensive compared to the cost of a Honduran university. </p>
<p>Let me elaborate: the most prestigious (?) private university costs approximately 72,000 Lempiras/year. One lempira= 1/19 dollar. In other words, 1 $ = 19 Lempiras. The most prestigious private university in Honduras costs ....
3790 $ a year. How about that! Of course, the university is not really prestigious, but you know what I mean.</p>
<p>How does 3790$ sound compared to 37,900$ ? One year in a US university would suck my parent's lifesavings. And, we're not poor ... in Honduras. My only chance is a full-ride scholarship ... hahaha ... "impossible is nothing" eh ?</p>
<p>ajayc, the UC system is public and it is therefore no surprise that they do not provide financial aid to international students. I don't think any public university offers need-based assistance to internationals and only very few (with student bodies way below the league of UCs') offer merit scholarships.</p>
<p>^ Yep I agree. I am just saying that for students who need significant amount of aid, UC shouldn't be on the list.</p>
<p>UC (Cincinnati) offers internationals full scholarship. My husband and some of his IIT Madras buddies got full scholarships to the UC graduate school Business engineering etc. Another good school that doles out generous scholarships is UIUC. My son who graduated this year from high school did not qualify for need based financial aid anywhere got generous grants from University of Cincinnati but chose to attend another school.</p>
<p>^ "Another good school that doles out generous scholarships is UIUC."</p>
<p>On what grounds are you saying that? And how good is University of Cincinnati for an engineering degree?? Do they take in many transfer students?</p>
<p>She is talking about graduate school.s UIUC NEVER gives out scholarship to interantional students.</p>
<p>Thought so. What about Cincinnati? Is it good for Engineering?</p>
