So I’m a Canadian student applying to JHU with need based financial aid. I know that it’s significantly more difficult for an international student to get accepted with aid - but how hard is it exactly? Near impossible? Should I even be dreaming about this? I have high scores/gpa/strong ecs but nothing exceptional (USAMO, recruited, wrote a book, cured cancer etc…). Do I even have a chance?

Also, would they ever accept me but not offer aid (or offer very limited aid?). Because that would feel better than getting flat out rejected haha
