<p>Also, since when is MIT need-blind for non-US residents? I went there last April and they said that they are, in fact, pretty need-aware for international students. Although they might be willing to give financial aid to international students based on need, it was stated during the presentation that this definitely counts against them because they do take need into account… ie. they are not need-blind. Plus with MIT’s strict 10% limit for international people in general, financial aid would just reduce chances even more. </p>
<p>So I don’t think it would be a good place to apply for international students who are hoping for financial support.</p>
