<p>I applied to Dartmouth as a transfer, I am an international student from Canada, although Dartmouth says they would consider 'us' as American citizens in admission process, I am hearing they don't.
Even though I need some fin aid, i really don't want that to jeopardize my chances at Dmouth, so should I write to them to tell them that if fin. aid ever comes up in making the decision on whether to accept me, then I would give up fin. aid to attend Dmouth?
thanks</p>
<p>Definitely apply. Between being a transfer and international, your chances of getting much is unlikely, but that's not to say you won't/can't get any. You might as well apply...they mean it when they say that they're need blind, so it will not affect your chances.</p>
<p>newbyreborn you need to calm down. the app is in. just...wait.</p>
<p>as far as i know, they really are need blind and honestly, if you send a letter saying youd turn down money if that would help you get in, then i think that might give them a bad impression. dont worry about it at all, it wont effect their decision. i wish you the best of luck, i can tell how much you want it</p>
<p>If you need money (if you do not have $43,000+ in disposable cash), then apply for the money because unless you have a major change in circumstances you may not get it in subsequent years.</p>
<p>thanks a lot for your posts
and yes tgllama, i do need to calm down (Off to playing Ping Pong :D)</p>
