<p>I know stanford isn't needblind, but does this have THAT dramatic of an impact on internationals? Like will this give quite a big advantange for ints. who don't need finaid VS those who do?</p>
<p>also, doesn't this turn many qualified ints. off cause they know it'll be very hard getting aid?</p>
<p>i heard they are very stingy to international students.</p>
<p>i'm applying anyways with FA</p>
<p>"Like will this give quite a big advantage for ints. who don't need finaid VS those who do?"</p>
<p>Not needing fin aid is definitely an advantage for international applicants. But thre are a lot of internationals with fin aid nevertheless...</p>
<p>it is harder to get in w/ FA for intl's</p>
