<p>I'm about to submit my supplementary materials</p>
<p>and there are questions about financial aid...
I'm an international student and apparently they offer financial aid to internationals!!</p>
<p>But would I have less chance if I apply for financial aid??</p>
<p>financial aid is handled separately from admissions. So financial need should not be a factor in your admissions process. (aka Need-blind admissions)</p>
<p>but Wash U isn't a need blind school, is it? So if I apply for financial aid as an international, my chances wouldn't be lowered? Even if I don't get aid, I would still be considered equally for admission?</p>
<p>hey, i'm an int'l student too. applying for fin aid shouldn't lower your chances... i asked for aid and got in thru ED. juz go for it. doesn't hurt to try:D</p>
