The FAQ for UNC reports that international students do not receive FA. Can this student afford these schools?
Hi! Thank you all for your reply! I’m international because I’m studying high school in another country. But I did not file any financial document (the one I submitted in November isn’t for UNC nor UW).
If I cannot apply for FA in both schools, do they provide merit-based scholarship?
@katwkittens may I ask why did your son choose UNC over UW?
@emilykdsheu
Are you a US citizen/permanent resident attending school outside of the US
If you are a non citizen, you will not receive any financial aid. If you were going to get merit money, which is extremely competitive, you would already know. The school would have told you in your admission letter.
You will have to pay full freight
@katwkittens is a North Carolina resident (glad to see you back, I have missed you <3 )

No, UWashington basically only accepts students from WWAMI states for their MD program. OOS UWash undergrads will not get any special admission consideration. (MD/PhD applicants and select highly competitive OOS applicants–typically UiM applicants or those with strong Washington state ties-- are the only exceptions.)
If the OP is an international–UWashington SOM does not accept international students.

Washington State SOM does not accept international students.

What country are you a citizen of @emilykdsheu
And what form did you file in November and for what school?
It’s April 29. You need to make a matriculation decision by TUESDAY, May 1. Neither UNC nor UWash will be affordable.
Do you have an affordable acceptance for college?
The OP’s question is really about what school to attend and they have another thread in the Search Forum. Please continue discussion there:
