<p>Hi I'm a Canadian who applied for Financial Aid and got denied from Rice... Can anyone tell me how much Financial Aid can affect the application of an international student?</p>
<p>Rice's admissions officers supposedly have no access to your financial information. I'm not saying whether or not it's true but i've hear admissions officers say this in person. I've heard people on CC say this as well. My opinion is that the need for financial aid didn't affect your admission, but i'm not sure if the international status complicates this.</p>

Rice University administers a need-blind admission process, so your admission to Rice is not influenced by your financial background.
