<p>I have a friend whose DD went to Brown on full financial aid and she is Canadian, living in Canada, so if you get in, you should get the aid you need. This was 5+ years ago, but it is probably still the same</p>

<br>
<p>2college...that is correct. Most colleges are not need blind at all for international students.</p>
<p>Franglish, the poster is intl and yes, Brown is need-aware for her/him. </p>
<p>"Brown will continue to consider a foreign candidate's financial need when deciding to admit, wait list, or deny the applicant."</p>
<p>Not sure how "need aware" admissions works - are they waiting to make admissions decisions until they have your FAFSA/Profile? But that doesn't necessarily mean a student wouldn't be able to pay the gap, bazooka - it just means they'll have to come up with more resources. Maybe they'll sell their comic book collection or have a generous grandpa waiting in the wings!</p>
