<p>I was really thrilled when I got a likely to SEAS, but as an international student (from Canada), I didn't apply for financial aid. Is it absolutely impossible to receive aid--even just partial aid--later on if I don't apply when applying for admission? Also, what are some other ways to help internationals like me cover the costs of tuition here?</p>
<p>This is an immediate conversation you should be having with Columbia Fin Aid office. I don’t understand why you didn’t apply for Fin Aid along with your application. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>The OP probably thought that applying for aid would lessen his chances of acceptance. Now it is too late. </p>
