1. Schools with no-cosigner loans covering tuition+expenses (to the best of my knowledge): HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Chicago, MIT, Kellogg, Tuck, NYU, Ross, Duke, Darden
2. Schools with no-cosigner loans covering tuition only: Yale, Cornell
3. Schools not offering no-cosigner loans: Columbia, Haas, UCLA
I never considered the schools in Group 3 because they didn't have any loan for internationals. The schools in Group 2 will be a tough call for many internationals as not everyone can show 40k in cash for 2-year living expenses. I personally never applied to Tuck, NYU and Darden because at the time of applying they had not worked their no-cosigner loan terms out and basically didn't have international loans in place. Striking out HBS and Stanford in addition because I'm too old for them really made my choice of schools easier and that's why I selected among only W/Chi/M/K/Mich/Duke.
I understand that Haas and UCLA might have problems considering their public status and reliance on the California budget. What really baffles me is Columbia's inability/unwillingness to offer a loan. I don't buy that "we try hard but so far no success" stance that their office puts on. I can't believe that one of the top finance schools, which churns out well-paid grads in banking, has strong relationships with all major banks and has tons of prominent alumni in finance, cannot pull some strings to secure a loan when almost all other top schools have put something in place.
