<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am an international student applying this year. I know international students are not eligible for financial aid.</p>

<p>I really don't have a problem for that as I have a GPA of 4.0 and has earned 4 distinction credits at A Levels.</p>

<p>So can I pay UVM the rest by taking loans?</p>

<p>You could, but why would you want to take out loans for undergrad? UVM is not known for generous merit aid, so I would not count on it, either, even if you match the criteria for being eligible for consideration. Make sure you have a plan B school that you can afford.</p>
