“Mexicans and Canadians can have financial aid without being disadvantaged. I don’t think this is the case for UPenn…”

It is the case for Penn. It is stated very clearly on their webpage on international student financial aid.

“will coming from eastern europe hurt or increase my chances?”

I will assume that you are asking whether it will hurt or increase your chances in relation to other financial aid students. It depends on which country, to a large degree. If you are from Moldavia, it might help you. If you are from Poland, probably not as much.

A collection of stats don’t matter much in terms of the financial aid spots. They can be used to take in academic superstars, but also people with odd and interesting backgrounds that will add to the mix at the university, who happen to have rather low stats.
