<p>Does anyone know how much ones chances might be improved if he can pay $27k and asks for only 20k as finaid.</p>
<p>Either you need aid or you don't. It doesnt matter how much you need</p>
<p>what about no aid at all?</p>
<p>it's a "need-blind" admission process
whether you need it or not, it wont factor into your chances</p>
<p>for internationals it aind need blind.</p>
<p>No, I don't think Financial Aid is taken into account for internationals at Stanford. I specifically checked up on it in my application.</p>
<p>well then you need to look into it further. Stanford is not need-blind to int'l, and only the top applicants will recieve fin aid packages</p>
<p>yes dooit is absolutely right and infact I would be pretty sure too considering the fact that I am an international applicant.</p>
<p>Your chances won't be improved at all. Half of Stanford's undergrads can afford to pay the entire $47k bill including tuition and living expenses.</p>
<p>whered u find that out?</p>
<p>Common Data Set: <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/home/statistics/#financial%5B/url%5D">http://www.stanford.edu/home/statistics/#financial</a>.
Out of 6654 students, 3750 applied for financial aid and 3208 were determined to have financial need. That means 44% didn't bother applying and 8% more did not have financial need. This means that the median household income of Stanford is around $200k.</p>
<p>Dude but I am talking abt in between finaid candidates and that too international finaid candidates will Stanford take a guy who is equally good and can pay some part or will they be totally unconcerned abt the fact of how much one can pay...which I think is unlikely since they tell us to write how much we can contribute.</p>
<p>Are there any stats on how many internationals pay full out of the total international population at Stanford?</p>
<p>well about 75-80% of them pay for their education. Stanford gives finaid to very very few applicants.</p>
<p>yep. stanford is NOT need-blind to internationals.</p>
