What this information means
Treat affordability as a first filter
The listed price is high enough that a Bangladeshi applicant needing substantial support should confirm international need-based aid or named scholarships before investing heavily in the application.
Aid prevalence is not aid generosity
96.5% receiving aid shows how common an award was in the reported year, while the average award helps estimate scale. Neither figure explains your likely package or the current policy.
Selectivity needs context
The overall rate does not account for international status, aid need, program demand, or the strength of your preparation. Use it only to balance the list, not to label the college a safety.
