<p>I know that Amherst, Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Yale (*Columbia and UPenn for Canadians as well, right?) are need-blind but other than those ones, which universities provide significant aid, if any? Sorry if this has been asked but I have looked through this forum quite a few times and don't recall this topic. :p</p>
<p>I heard that Chicago was also need blind for Canadians. Also WashU in St. Louis is need blind for the ED round. </p>
<p>Not really that much out there for us Canadians in America though. I heard Alabama U also had really good merit aid, but not sure if you want to go there…</p>
<p>^ I second the UChicago suggestion. Penn is also need-blind only towards Canadians and Mexicans.</p>
<p>Some other colleges include: Williams (which only takes account of whether you need FA or not, and not the specific amount you need. So good news for those who need 50k+ a year to attend) and Middlebury (which has been traditionally generous to Canadians).</p>
<p>All the Ivies, MIT. For sure.</p>
<p>^All the Ivies? Really? Because I’m not too certain on Cornell but I have heard that Brown is really stingy with aid. :</p>
<p>Thanks guys! Any more suggestions?</p>
<p>I don’t think UChicago, Cornell or Brown are need-blind. The rest of your list is correct.</p>
<p>^UChicago is indeed need-blind towards Canadians. This is a policy newly adopted last year.</p>
<p>No Cornell isn’t as generous (well not anymore if it ever was) My friend got accepted, but since no financial aid was offered he had to go somewhere else.</p>
<p>I only pay living expenses. That’s generous to me because for me it’s technically cheaper to go to Cornell than an out-of-town university back home in Canada.</p>
<p>All of the Ivies are need blind and generous. I think some people get the impression that they aren’t because a significant factor besides your parent’s income is your ASSETS. Houses, cars, stock, savings accounts, pension plans are ALL assets that are difficult to liquify and do not necessarily represent cash/available funds. Therefore, families with these assets don’t get that much aid even if their income is “par” with other families. </p>
<p>However, since 2008 financial etc etc, aid HAS taken a hit. Cornell has a class size much larger than the other Ivies and a smaller endowment than some of the others so you can figure the rest out. I’m not affected by any of these new policies/changes so maybe I’ve just been spewing crap here but I did want to make the note that Cornell was generous to students like me.</p>
