<p>I am an international student, and I'm going to apply to some selective schools, especially Berkeley. So my question is: if I don't apply for financial aid, will my chances increase??</p>
<p>My counselor said that there is a question on the form, something like: "Do you want us to consider admitting you even if we can't offer financial aid" and if I apply for aid and say "yes" to this question, my chances won't decrease because ı want aid. </p>
<p>Should I want aid and say "yes" to that question, or should I just not ask for aid??</p>
