<p>Hey so does anyone know about the availability of financial aid for international students and the competitiveness of it.</p>
<p>dude, the financial aid situation for international students is extremely competetive, first you have to show you really ned it and second, you have to be really good, because when you apply for iad, they make it harder fo you to get in</p>
<p>I really need it.Very low income.
My stats are as follows:-
GPA - 3.9/4 (school does not weight as every student takes the same difficulty)
SAT I - 2320
maths-800
verbal-750
writing-770
SAT II
Math II -800
Physics -800
Chemistry -780</p>
<p>school does not rank but top 2% (as told by counsellor)
Will get good recco’s as I have good relationship with my teachers.</p>
