<p>Yes, my cousins were international students as well. 5 were accepted (over the years), 3 chose to enroll, over some other very nice offers (this is in part because they wanted to study physics, and well, Reed has a nuclear reactor lol).</p>
<p>Financial aid is limited everywhere, but from what I’ve seen, it seems easier to obtain during ED. So yeah, do not be discouraged when a small LAC tells you that there is limited aid available. This is true across all schools, even at Amherst (even though it is need-blind, the admit rate is very low in part because they know they can’t afford to admit too many intls.) Look into Hamilton, btw. INCREDIBLY generous! And LOVES strong, international students that apply ED. </p>
