Are Canadians considered International Applicants?

What exactly is a “special international applicant”?



I think he means that Canadian students are given preference over other internationals. This might be why many of the top-tiers have a lot of Canadians enrolled (relative to the other international students). But I think it’s just because Canadians are actually proficient in English, whereas most other International students are not.



If I don’t apply for financial aid, does this mean I have an equal chance as Americans?



No, you’re still pretty much at a disadvantage. At some schools though (like HYP), it doesn’t matter because they’re need-blind. Not applying for financial aid should help a little bit though (for schools that are not need-blind).
