What does UIUC think of people applying to their school asking for financial aid?

<p>I want to go there, and my grades seem like they are really borderline with their standards. I was going to apply for financial aid but if it is going to hurt my chances of getting into UIUC I wont. What do you think?</p>

<p>Admissions decisons at UIUC do not consider whether someone is or is not applying for financial aid.</p>
