Colleges & Universities Stanford University

<p>International students who don’t apply for aid are held to equally high standards as American students. They do not cut slack. All the internationals accepted to Stanford, that I know, are excellent students. The five accepted (three are attending) from my HS last year are:</p>

<p>(1) First award at ISEF, published paper
(2) First award at ISEF, published paper
(3) Participated in major Firefox development
(4) Student body president, presented at international conference
(5) RSI, medal at international science olympiad</p>

<p>As you can see, Stanford has high admissions standards. I would describe the situation NOT as ''easier for international who don’t need aid" BUT ''much more difficult for internationals who need aid".</p>
