📣 Important Update: How This Group Will Work Moving Forward
Hi everyone 🤍 When I started this group, the goal was to give ambitious students real, strategic admissions guidance for free — not just generic tips. And it’s been amazing to see so many of you take advantage of it. But as things have grown, I need to focus my time on students I work with directly — so this group will now function as a resource hub only, without active Q&A. ✅ How to Use This Group Now You still have access to two core resources: - 70+ strategy posts (all organized in the “One-Stop Hub” pinned post) - The free course module (located in the Classroom tab) Both are incredibly valuable and cover the kind of guidance students usually pay counselors for — so I highly recommend making the most of them. I may still share occasional updates or resources here, but I’ll no longer be answering individual application questions. 📲 Want to Keep Learning? That’s all happening on Instagram — @theivywizard. I post new tips, strategy breakdowns, and student examples there every week. If you’re serious about improving your application, make sure you’re following — that’s where most of the new content will be. 🎓 Want Personalized Help?

It's a step-by-step system to build a standout application — with personalized feedback and coaching from me throughout the process. 💬 Don’t Forget — One of the main reasons I started this group was to help students connect. You're always welcome to post, share progress, and support each other here — that part hasn’t changed. Thanks again for being part of this community 💜 / Lisa (The Ivy Wizard)

2️⃣💰 Financial Aid 102: International Student? Here's What You Need To Know
U.S. colleges are expensive, and unlike domestic students, international students don’t qualify for federal financial aid. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t options! Here’s what you need to know about funding your education as an international student. 📌 Do U.S. Colleges Offer Financial Aid to International Students? Yes, some do—but not all, and the policies vary. 1️⃣ Need-Blind & Meets Full Need ✅ Your financial situation isn’t considered in admissions. If accepted, the college guarantees to meet 100% of your demonstrated need through grants and scholarships (no loans for intl students). - Extremely rare for international students. - Example schools: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Amherst. 2️⃣ Need-Aware & Meets Full Need ⚠️ Your ability to pay affects admissions decisions—having financial need may lower your chances. However, if accepted, your full need is covered through grants, scholarships, or (sometimes) work-study. - Many top private universities fall into this category. - Example schools: Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, Stanford. 3️⃣ Need-Aware & Does NOT Guarantee Full Aid ❗ Your financial need impacts admissions, but even if accepted, you may not receive enough aid to afford tuition. - Many private colleges offer partial aid but expect students to cover the rest. - Example schools: Boston University, NYU, USC. 4️⃣ No Need-Based Aid, Merit Scholarships Only ❌ These schools do not offer need-based aid for international students, but some have highly competitive merit scholarships (often requiring outstanding grades, test scores, and achievements). - Most public universities fall into this category, including University of California schools and other state schools. 💡 Key Takeaway: Most U.S. universities expect international students to self-fund at least part of their education. If applying to need-aware schools, your ability to pay may affect your admissions chances—so research each school's policies carefully. 📋 What Forms Do International Students Need to Submit?
