q’s about Brown Financial aid?
I’m planning on applying to Brown with financial aid.
Say, hypothetically my application alone is strong enough to be accepted but isn’t strong enough to receive financial aid.
In this case, would I be accepted without financial aid?
Or would I be rejected completely?
Is it possible for someone who applied financial aid to get accepted without financial aid?
i forgot to add that I’m an international student -_-;;

Annie:
Brown does not consider financial aid need while evaluating your application for admission. Brown practices what’s known as “need-blind admission” – here, in their own words, is what that means:
“Need-blind admission simply means that an applicant’s ability to pay for their education will not be a factor in the admission decision. In other words, a candidate’s financial need will not be taken into consideration when deciding to admit, wait list, or deny an applicant.”
Furthermore, Brown guarantees all admitted freshman applicants that the school will meet 100% of demonstrated financial aid need.
You can learn about both policies here: https://financialaid.brown.edu/Cmx_Content.aspx?cpId=57
Good luck – I hope this helps.
P.S: (responding to your added comment): Ah, that’s different, then. As you’ll read on the page I provided, Brown is NOT need-blind for international students. Again, you’ll find the details of that policy on that page. I’m sorry!
