<p>Other Factors:
UPenn considers me an "international student" because I do not have a green card even though I have been living in the U.S. for 8 years. The ability of an international student to finance education is directly related to his/her admission. My parents have apparently high salaries but have been working for a very short period of time (we have little savings), so I did asked for financial aid, which might have been factored into the decision...but who knows? </p>
