Regardless of what anyone says I think there may one, tops 2 colleges that are TRULY need-blind for internationals.

Apply for FA if you're truly going to need it.

Don't apply for it if you think you're not going to need it.

There are no two ways about it.

Don't try to intertwine admissions with FA. You wouldn't want to graduate college with a $2,00,000 debt, would you?

Alright, so not there are 7 need-blind schools: HYPM, Dartmouth, Middlebury, Williams... This is really depressing. I mean, not even Stanford and UofC offer need-blind admission for int'ls... In fact, UofC doesn't even let you apply EA if you're an int'l asking FinAid

depends... schools are still a business.
it all depends. i applied for aid but since my parents make so much i am not really getting any aid, so in my situation it certianly didnt do no harm

it all depends on how much you are going to receive and how rich the shcool is

I would suggest checking out International Student Exchange & Study Abroad Resource Center if you're applying as an international student.

Indeed... there are only 7 schools need-blind to international students. Applying for financial aid in any of the other schools will affect your chances, but naturally, this depends per student and how much aid you are applying for.

It may be a good idea to contact individual colleges if the information isn't already on their homepage... Each college is different!
