However although full pay is not a hook for American students at most top schools, it absolutely is for international students, and most top schools are filling their classes with 10-20 percent full pay international students. It absolutely is a reason domestic admissions have become so competitive.


Correct. International students are not eligible to complete the FAFSA so they can not receive any federal, state or institutional need-based aid programs. They can receive merit-aid.


Clarification, internationals are eligible to receive merti-based institutional aid if the college wants to offer it. Publics don't, many private colleges don't, but some privates do.

Some colleges do, in fact, offer need-based institutional aid to internationals. Not a ton, but several, mostly top 20s. In fact, if I recall, I listed them earlier in the thread.


How? How do they determine need if an international student can't fill out the FAFSA?
