@emaytay213 and @ksanyee

Well, both of you are wrong in different ways. Georgetown is need-blind to everyone, including international students, so asking for aid will NOT affect admission chances whatsoever. Also, Georgetown does have a limited amount of financial aid for international students, but I believe they award based on need and not on merit as ksanyee seems to imply. I'm an international student and I received over fifty grand, and I can safely say that my credentials were not "impeccable."

From the Georgetown website (Georgetown University :: Office of Student Financial Services)

Georgetown offers a very limited number of need-based scholarships to selected first-year international students who demonstrate financial need for assistance. Prospective international students who wish to be considered for one of these awards should indicate their intent on the Application for Undergraduate Admission and should submit a CSS/Financial Aid Profile online at CollegeBoard.com.
