Chance an international seeking a full ride

<p>Hey, I just wanted to add some info for you. They are upfront that international aid is limited and that their admission process for all applicants is “need-aware.” If they accept you, they commit to meeting your financial need but they even post on their website that they can only do this for about 20 international students a year and that some of that aid can be in the form of loans (unlike schools like Amherst or Brown which do not include loans in their aid packages for your income bracket.) Basically, keep these things in mind before applying ED.</p>

<p>My daughter was just at Reed last week and asked about double majoring. It’s not impossible but it’s a really hefty load requiring two senior thesis… not recommended. However, you have the option of an interdisciplinary major which combines two subjects. They have a few that are ready made (like theatre-literature or mathematics-economics) but if you can prove that two other subjects combine well, you can create your own interdisciplinary major. </p>

<p>Also, there are some waivers for CSS Profile and SAT score costs. I’d be looking into those to help with your applications. Sometimes they limit how many you can receive but any bit would likely help.</p>

<p>Read through this page… lots of good info including how they handle travel expenses and such.</p>
