That used to be the case, but they have changed it in the past few years. For domestic students they now meet need (they made this up by admitting fewer students though). I don’t know if they promise to meet need for internationals, but I do know that even when they were “stingy” (my daughter graduated from there earlier this year so talking about her contemporaries ) there were some internationals there on very generous aid packages, including one who was almost a full ride. I don’t know that the chances of getting generous aid from them as an international are much different than getting into an ivy, but of course it’s your decision as to how to spend your application time.
