<p>Thank you for your opinions and I do understand that it’s a huge amount of money to borrow especially this early on in my life. I was wondering though if anyone had an idea of the difference in admission rates between internationals applying with and without aid. I know most of these colleges put internationals who do not apply for aid in the same applicant pool as domestic students, true? But how much would it statistically increase my chances not to apply for aid?</p>
