<p>Here is a list of schools that offer the most need-based aid to internationals (though they are not all need-blind to internationals), in case any of you are still looking to draw up your apply list : </p>

<p><a href="http://new.oacac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/intfinaid09.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://new.oacac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/intfinaid09.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Of course, there is a whole bunch of other schools that are looking to attract internationals and will offer aid to entice the right candidates, but this list is a good place to start.</p>

<p>BTW, for you ladies, check out the Seven Sister schools (Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Smith, Wellesley and Vassar(coed)). I still can't believe that Holyoke has a bigger international budget than Princeton or Yale! Unless the 'no boys' is dealbreaker, I strongly encourage you girls to consider these schools. Note that Holyoke and Smith are part of the Five schools consortium (along with Amherst, UMass-Amherst and Hampshire, so you can take classes at those schools and all the social benefits offered by them). Bryn Mawr is also part of a consortium with Swarthmore and Haverford.</p>

<p>Great link beneli, thanks!
It surprised me that Stanford has 200 int’l on finaid out of 400 int’l enrolled…whereas Chicago only has about 50 on fin-aid…Does this mean that I actually have a better chance at Stanford than at Chicago? (being an int’l needing FULL aid)…</p>

<p>Pretty much, yeah… Chicago’s very stingy on aid, so it’s extremely hard to get in as an international needing financial aid.</p>

<p>Here’s another list of cheap schools for internationals. Binghamton is a great value.</p>

<p>Kiplinger ranks SUNY Geneseo #2 for out-of-state best value (Quality/Price)</p>

<p>“This small honors school in western New York vies with Binghamton University for best out-of-state value. Its total cost for out-of-staters comes in at $25,803, a bit lower than Binghamton’s, and the admission rate is a competitive 35%. Incoming freshmen keep the brainiac quotient high at Geneseo: SAT scores are among the best on our list”</p>
