Do international students who can pay full stand out in a crowd of international students who require a lot of financial aid?
No FA will increase your odds. it can not make you stand out on its own. Penn has so many amazing international applicants. Many got in with FA.
Thanks for replying! @f2000sa So much does applying for fin aid weigh down your application?
For an international applicant? A lot, since Penn is need-aware for international applicants. If you’re looking for a specific percentage, it’s not available.
