<p>I’m an international applicant from India looking to go to either Bowdoin or Williams. While Williams is definitely a more reputed LAC, I’ve received a lot more support from the Bowdoin coach for recruitment purposes. However I need a large amount of financial aid to go to either of these places. Which one is more likely to give aid to international students?</p>
<p>I would guess it’s Williams.</p>
<p>However, be aware that no school is going to give a lot of aid to anyone unless they can truly demonstrate need. The school is going to look at your family’s income and assets to make that determination.</p>
<p>I don’t know if either school is need aware for int’ls. And, of course, both would be hard to get accepted to.</p>
<p>In general Williams has more money from internationals. But given the brutal competition among Indian students for the couple of seats at either, you’re much more likely to get one if a coach is supporting you.</p>
