2021 Jun 11Because fewer people started university in 2020, applications to the most selective US universities increased by upwards of 30% this year, meaning acceptance rates dropped significantly, particularly for international students seeking aid. There are 5 need-blind universities in the US for international students. This means that asking for aid will not make it harder to get in, as it would with need-aware colleges. That being said, each of these, Amherst, Harvard, MIT, Princeton and Yale have incredibly low acceptance rates. I am sure our past students at top colleges would be happy to help anyone who reached out to them.
