<p>*Harvard financial aid is similar for US and non US applicants (need based for EVERYONE)…</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>That isn’t the issue that we mentioned. YOU will be competing against other int’ls for admission…you won’t be competing against US students for admissions. Int’l admissions is a separate process where YOU compete against int’ls for admissions. So, your point that you’re more interesting than a US student is irrelevant.</p>
<p>*I’m applying to 6 other colleges…</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>Which 6? </p>
<p>Be aware that most/all of those other schools will use a far less generous formula for admissions…and will also use home equity. </p>
<p>*my parents have other assets in France but not big enough to not be eligible to financial aid. *</p>
<p>Those still need to be included. They may not keep you from getting FA, but you may not get as much FA as you might want.</p>
