<p>OP…you need to understand ONE very important component here…yes…some schools have very generous financial aid for internationa students and are need blind for admissions as well…there are SIX schools in that category…not too many. </p>
<p>The key is you have to be accepted to the schools to benefit from their generous financial aid. With better than 90% of international applicants being rejected from these schools…it is very wise to have some affordable and less competitive schools included in your application pile. Just saying.</p>
