International Students

<p>I’m a USA Math Olympiad Winner, but I’m don’t have greencard yet.
I’m going to apply MIT, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton because they are need blind for internationals.
What other colleges care about USAMO and give generous financial aid to internationals?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot</p>

<p>So what?</p>

<p>A school may not be need-blind but still very generous with the financial aid packages it does provide. My own college might fall into that category: Apparently we don’t have more than 15 international students on financial aid in each class, but those 15 students are very happy with their packages!</p>

<p>To the OP: if you are a competitive applicant for Harvard & Co, you should have a good shot at need-sensitive top colleges as well. Why don’t you start your college search by figuring out which characteristics of a college appeal to you (besides prestige, obviously)? I didn’t like Yale at all, for example, because it is too urban. But maybe you grew up in a city and don’t mind its location and the setup of the “campus” at all.</p>
