<p>From what I have heard the aid can be a factor for international students unfortunately. However, you do have good stats. I just don't know enough to tell you how I feel (given that you are international) but I would feel pretty good about it if you were in the states. I know it is apples to oranges but I hope that helps a little. Good luck.</p>
<p>You seem to be a very strong candidate and I doubt they would hold non-fluent reccomendations against you. I think you would have a great shot at getting in, but I'll echo what Irish said- aid could be a problem. I just went through the whole international application thing with my exchange "sister" from China. Getting her admitted wasn't the problem, but finding a school willing to give her substantial financial aid (she needs a lot) was another thing altogether. Good luck to you!</p>
