Is Harvey Mudd looking favourably at International Applicants asking for FA?

<p>I wish I had seen this earlier. I’m an international sophomore at Mudd receiving significant need-based aid. Compared to peer schools like MIT and Stanford, Mudd is poorer and cannot support as many FA students. But they can support <10 international FA students each year. Also, Mudd doesn’t attract /as many/ international applicants as peer schools. </p>

because in general, international students can afford to pay for themselves. Internationals applying for FA are less likely to enroll compared to internationals that can pay. Bottom line.

Internationals can generally afford to pay for themselves? Where did you hear of this? Also, why would poorer students be less likely to enroll than richer students?</p>
