<p>So I’ve been wondering about this for quite some time:
Gtown says that it’s need-blind to everyone, including international students, but its financial aid policy is not need-based. I’m an international student, and the current Gtown students from my country are all studying there without any financial aid from the school.</p>
<p>Is it possible that the school admits you but do not give you any financial aid?</p>
<p>Yes. FA is dependent on need. If you do not need, then no FA. If you need, then they can offer all or some of your need. It may be that the FA comes in the line of loans which may or may not be financially in your best interest. Depending on where you are from, many countries offer assistance to obtain a higher education even in the US. Have you looked into programs your local government may have for studying abroad?</p>
