I am an International Student and my parents can fully afford to pay for my education in the US. Let us for now assume that I have the required admission credentials -Rigor, Rank, GPA, SAT, SAT2’s, EC’s and a ‘passionate’ essay.
I am keen to use ‘ED’ process to my full advantage. Is there a way I can indicate I can afford full pay but still apply for ‘FA’ with my ED application, with the intent of hoping for some grant/scholarship in subsequent years.
Will applying for FA be limiting in my admission in any way, as the (only) purpose of my “ED” is to gain admission to my dream school
