<p>Does not asking for financial aid really boost your chance by that much?</p>

<p>I'm a canadian transfer hopeful so I'd really like to know.</p>

3

<p>yeah i got admission plus aid.</p>

4

<p>ye i got aid too</p>

5

<p>likoo and honeydee, did your admission email offered financial aid? or you get it from mail?</p>

6

<p>notification by email, then details on the online account provided.</p>

<p>Stanford didn't mention it in my email. But I check my online account today and it's there. I got financial aid!! great.</p>

<p>I got aid too, family make about 12K a year. They gave me 50K scholarship, and 2500 student contribution. My parents don't have to pay anything at all.</p>

<p>Congratulations demoplayer! Quick question, how much did you write that you'd be able/willing to pay in the application? I wrote 10,000 even though our families make about the same income.</p>

<p>Where are you from btw?</p>

<p>demoplayer, i got $54k in addition to my parent contribution of $800. the difference between yours and mine is probably due to the estimated financial need difference of transportation and international tax allowance in your country and mine. </p>

<p>undisclosed, family income less than 60,000 would be treated as 0 income, which means you'll get full scholarship (need-based) minus your parent contribution if admitted. good luck. in my case, my parent filled 800.</p>

<p>So you contribute what you stated? dammit. We stated 10,000$ on the assumption that they wouldnt consider an international (canadian) if they couldnt contribute that.</p>

<p>So yay bank loan if i get in. Oy. :(</p>
