International students who have no financial need are evaluated with everyone else. Carleton is not need blind to international students so once the money has run out for internationals, that is it for any who need aid. Those who do not continue to be considered.

All of my kids went at least 7 hours away, and I have one cross country. His friends are also cross country. But the vast, vast majority of kids from any of their graduating classes ended up in college within 3 hours of home, even if they had more selective offers further away. Distance truly is an issue. However, at S3’s school, it seems to me from looking at the college list that this past year more kids did consider more remote schools which I think is great.
