<p>the need-blind policy is very attractive
altho i'm not sure if it has good financial aid
it's still very very very attractive (at least to me)</p>
<p>anyway i'm worried that D will attract lots of int'l stundents like me
and worried that the pool will get very big and less chance for admission</p>
<p>so... do you thinks so too?
way less chance for int'l student now that Dartmouth has need blind policy
toward int'l students?</p>
<p>I’m not an international student, but compared to all the private schools that accepted me, Dartmouth was by far the most generous with need-based financial aid.</p>
<p>I’m sure it will attract more international students, but by how much I wouldn’t know. As for the generosity of finaid, it seems to vary from case to case. Some students who are comparing among the ivy(and similar) finaid packages find Dartmouth’s to be very generous. But, others might find Dartmouth’s to be ridiculously low. (especially when comparing to schools such as Tulane, which hand out half scholarships like after-dinner breath mints.) Just apply, and see.</p>
<p>Dartmouth’s package for me was <em>by far</em> the most generous. And by that I mean their aid offer was a full 10 times the next highest I received.</p>
<p>Regardless, I don’t see what this has to do with international admissions.</p>
<p>to the OP, it’s hard to say how it will affect you and other international students, although my prediction is that in addition to it attracting more international students, it will also result in a higher acceptance of them. dartmouth always seems to be looking to diversify, and now that it will likely have a better chance to do so, i would be surprised to see them not try to attract more. again, this is just my own opinion, and really don’t know for certain.</p>
