<p>How much will applying for financial aid affect my chances of admission?
I have above average stats, am a national of an underrepresented country, and may apply ED.</p>
<p>Since internationals are not need-blind,applying for financial aid will negatively impact your chances.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate for international students is almost half that for US residents, and requiring FA would impact that further.</p>

<p>You are from India, you know very well that it is not an underrepresented country.Points taken off for being untruthful.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that I am of Indian ethnicity and live in India, my passport at least says that I am a citizen of another country. Please don’t make assumptions.</p>
