Carleton vs Grinnell vs Haverford [possible Poli Sci with Philosophy; international student]

This is very helpful and thanks for sharing.

Given OP is international, it will be worthwhile to look at financial aid given to international:

Haverford: Avg Aid - 84K, Internationals receiving aid 36.4%, Full pay internationals: 63.6%(total aid - 4.8 million)

Carleton: Avg Aid 52K, Internationals receiving aid 46.1%, Full pay internationals: 55.9% (total aid - 5.5 million)

Grinnell: Avg Aid - 51K, Internationals receiving aid 63.8%, Full pay internationals: 36.2% (total aid - 10.9 million)

Indeed, for Carleton and Haverford Internationals are the cash cows. Haverford seems to be more generous in terms of offering full ride to some.

@saps_k What is you COA? Are you full pay? At the end that could be an important factor to decide. If you are full pay, then Haverford is a no brainer choice!
