<p>Yeah, this really hot British girl on my floor freshman year was so difficult to communicate with.</p>
<p>Luckily, math is a universal language. I can show her what I learned in Vibrations (E4215) and Lubrication (E4404).</p>
<p>Skraylor, I have absolutely no idea. I take it from the CU website that only non-resident aliens are considered international students. IMO opinion, a US citizen living abroad is not an international student. The Americans here I know go to international high schools and barely speak our language. And don’t flame me guys, I said the Americans I know, not that they’re all like this.</p>
<p>Pear, it lists 10% on the undergrad admissions website. </p>

<p>Of course, “roughly” could mean they rounded up. A lot.</p>
<p>It could also be that they there is no distinct definition of what an international student is. Maybe colleges use this to their advantage. But I guess you’re most likely right, the “roughly” sounds pretty stragetic to me.</p>
<p>So…do you think Columbia could become need-blind for intl’s after receiving the donation?</p>
<p>It’s possible but I woulnd’t bet on it. They will evaluate how they everyone can benefit from the money the most, in the long-term that is. Don’t get me wrong, if they want someone they’ll take him even if he is dirt poor. But I guess your financial status will still matter.</p>

No. I think the largest was the gift of $600 million to Caltech by the founder of Intel a few years ago.</p>
<p>That was from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, not a single person.</p>
