<p>Looks interesting.</p>

<p>Hopefully something good comes out of this…I’d definitely like to be able to agree to attend if I’m accepted.</p>

3

<p>Are they going to outbid Harvard AND Yale? :O</p>

4

<p>please become need-blind for int’ls!@ :p</p>

5

<p>I hope they eliminate tuition for students with <200K income! How reasonable is it to expect this?</p>

6

<p>For <$200K income?! That’s just ridiculous!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>(from the article)</p>

<p>Yes :smiley: I like the sound of that, hope they eliminate any form of payment for
families with income in the lower bands and maybe even pay the students a
small stipend…</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>totally with win8282. i hope stanford gets a case of need blindness for internationals.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Not at all. Harvard just reduced tuition for those with <200k, and it has 2x Stanford’s endowment.</p>

10

<p>Bump… I’m literally praying that we see some movement before this year’s decisions come out.</p>

11

<p>Well, an announcement can be expected sometime this upcoming week, apparently. I’m really hoping that it’ll be on par with Harvard’s new initiative.</p>

<p>And here’s an interesting editorial from the Daily (that while completely unlikely to ever happen, still something to consider):
[Editorial:</a> Time to take the lead on financial aid - The Stanford Daily Online](<a href=“http://daily.stanford.edu/article/2008/2/14/editorialTimeToTakeTheLeadOnFinancialAid]Editorial:”>http://daily.stanford.edu/article/2008/2/14/editorialTimeToTakeTheLeadOnFinancialAid)</p>

<p>good editorial. hopefully the new financial aid policy will benefit this year’s applicants (including us internationals).</p>

13

<p>kyledavid, I guess elimination of tuition isn’t such a brash idea after all!</p>

14

<p>^^ that it came from Stanford’s paper doesn’t make it appropriate or likely. Not even Harvard’s administration sees it as very necessary, and they have a $35b endowment, twice Stanford’s. Think about it: if a family makes $400k a year, why not make them pay full price? They certainly can, and it wouldn’t make a huge dent in their life (unless of course they live a very lavish life). Notice that the article is an editorial.</p>

<p>kyledavid, you get half of what you ask for-apparently they removed tuition for half of that, 100K.</p>
