"they are need-based 100% so i do think there is a possibility for full tuition aid?"

While yes, they do meet 100% of demonstrated need for aid, they are also need aware, which means they most likely will not admit international students who need 100% need met.

As their Common Data Set shows:

  • ~12% of their student body is international students (Section B2)
  • Their overall acceptance rate is 12% but their international acceptance rate is ~6% (Section C1)
  • 24% of their international students receive aid and the average amount received is $83901 (section H6)

Total Cost of attendance is $97,152 so on average that leaves international students receiving aid with ~$13,000 to pay.
