Both of these are great schools, and you definitely can't go wrong with applying to either! If you don't mind me asking, would finances be a concern?

I'm actually in a similar situation than OP, what school do you think would be more generous in FA? (I'm international too, that likely matters)

Honestly, it's really hard to say unfortunately! I'm sorry I can't provide a clear answer, and I wish I could, but it really is dependent on your financial situation and by what the school defines as demonstrated need.
On the bright side, though, both Cornell and Brown do promise to meet full demonstrated need for all students, and both schools offer loan free financial aid.

I'll have to check if this applies to international applicants

It does apply to international students!
They do it for everyone who is admitted.

That's great 🙂 Thanks for the insight

Brown is also working to become need-blind for everybody by 2025, which is also pretty nice.
It's a bit off from now, but they are being more conscious about it.

I thought only 9 schools or so meed full demonstrated need for international students, do you know anything about that?

It's way more than 9 thankfully!
It's about 100.
bronze ermine
Oh, I might've gotten confused. Only 9 are need-blind for international students
If I'm not mistaken

Ah, that makes sense! You're right, it is 9 now.
Bowdoin and Dartmouth recently joined as need-blind for everyone schools.

Are these grouped in a list online or something? That'd be helpful, if you have access to that

Yes, they are!

Bowdoin and Dartmouth recently joined as need-blind for everyone schools.
And pretty soon, Brown will too which is nice.

It's actually 8, according to Wikipedia, dang.
stable holly
There is one more called Minerva!
But they're a bit of an odd school.
And they work very differently compared to most universities.
stable holly
I think so.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot there's a tenth need-blind for everyone school.
Sorry about that, I should have mentioned it.
Georgetown is also!
The only big con of Georgetown though is that they can't guarantee meeting full demonstrated need for international applicants unfortunately.
But they are need-blind for everyone.

Maybe we can move to <#789719274566057984> if you don't mind?
No worries!

Best of luck for ED apps OP!

cs!
?
yea thats sucks
a&s requires u to take a lot of gen eds
ppl outside eng and cs don't complain as much

i toured w my friend
pale root
I think CAS is easier for men because the engineering school prefers women due to an imbalance in the number of men to women applying
That might have changed post Covid though

Deep Springs is also need blind for everyone, but they're also a weird school to say the least
