I think it is in your best interest to apply for aid. If they turn you down freshman year you say that it will still be all good because you are prepared to pay full freight. Penn is one of those schools where as an international student, if you do not apply freshman year, you will not be eligible for aid in subsequent years.



International applicants who anticipate the need for financial aid at any time during their four-year course of study must make this anticipated need known at the time of application.

**Q. May I apply for financial aid at any time during my undergraduate career? **

A. No. It is only possible to apply for financial aid during the initial admissions process. If you foresee a need for financial aid at some point during your undergraduate career, you must apply for it as an incoming freshman or transfer applicant.
