international student~Finacial aid

<p>does anyone know if its easier to get in if u dont ask for finacial aid???
im from vancouver canada btw~</p>

<p>Yes, it's much easier for an international</p>

<p>kk~thanks....ugh, i have to take on tons of loans now>"<</p>

<p>I wouldn't screw yourself by not applying for finaid on the <<hope>> that you get in...</hope></p>

<p>It is much easier for internationals not needing fin aid. But if you can't pay the tuition, getting in without fin aid won't help you much...</p>

<p>Canada does not count as international for Stanford. You will be eligible for need-blind financial aid.</p>

<p>I am assuming that you're canadian but are you sure? I have a friend who is from Canada and he was considered international (but he graduated from Stanford in June)</p>

<p>I am pretty sure Canadians are NOT need blind at Stanford.</p>

<p>"much easier" - as in, "much easier than other Internationals needing financial aid but still really hard considering the competition of the pool" or more like "on equal footings with domestic applicants"?</p>
