I still think you have a flawed plan. Flawed.
A degree from Stanford will take you FOUR years, not one. You need a way to pay for ALL FOUR YEARS (and yes, I’m yelling…because you seem to want to ignore this important fact).
Look…your chances of getting accepted to Stanford are in the 5% range…which is about the %age of international students accepted. Being full pay will increase your chance of acceptance extremely minimally. And if you can’t pay for years 2, 3, and 4…yOU are wasting $55,000 on year one.
There is NO WAY for you to work enough on a student visa to fully fund your college costs fter you exhaust your savings.
So…I stuck with my suggestion. If you really require need based aid to attend Stanford, or any college for that matter…apply for need based aid.
You are being very short sighted not to apply for aid given you do NOT have $200,000 to fully fund your college education here.
