Hey,
I’m thinking of applying to Grinnell RD. I’m an international student from India. However, I will need about 85-90% aid. I wanted to know if Grinnell tends to give out a lot of aid to international students. Also, do I have a shot considering that I’m applying for aid and Grinnell isn’t need-blind. Lastly, should I apply for financial aid or a merit scholarship?

Country of Citizenship: India
SAT I: CR 660; WR 800; Math 800 = 1460, 2260 (2 sittings)
SAT II: Chemistry 800; Math Level II: 800
IB: 38/42, 38/42, 41/42 (predicted), I will be getting one more score in a few months
ECs: Strong in terms of teaching computers, district level chess, public speaking, a lot of community service, martial arts

Thanks SO much!!
