| IF you choose not to apply for financial aid, you simply check that you are not applying for financial aid in your applications (presumably you already turned these in) and you need do nothing else.
BUT with your stats, you may want to consider applying with financial aid to Case Western. Your chances of admission are quite high, and you'll want the opportunity to receive MERIT aid more than anything else. You'll want to check with the school whether they supply merit aid to those who don't submit a financial aid request. I know for a fact Case Western gives merit aid automatically for those apply for financial assistance.
The other schools will be a reach for you, especially as an international student. Still, make sure you're positive you can comfortably afford these $45,000+ a year (consider other expenses like flying) colleges before making the decision to waive your right to aid.
WashU is NOT need blind for anyone. But WashU offers merit aid as well (supplemental application required). I'm not sure about JHU; I believe UPenn offers no merit aid.
Everything else that I can think of was covered in the above posts. |
