<p>I have good academics, okay ECs, recos will be good and to add to all I spend my time tinkering and piddling.So, will that be advantageous??I want to study “mech engg”.
My weak part is that I have horrible CR scores(550) and I spoiled one of my papers in my Junior year(coz I was ill).
So should I apply to Stanford?? I am an international student who needs a lot of financial aid.</p>
<p>lol u never know till u try.</p>
<p>Stanford doesn’t give financial aid to international students.</p>
<p>Criticizing yourself won’t get you admitted. Figure out a way to make your case why you belong.</p>
<p>Stanford does give aid to internationals, albeit not often.
Someone earlier mentioned that only 40 packages a year are offered.</p>
<p>wait
i dont even understand what you mean.
“tinkering and piddling?”
“spoiled one of my papers???”
i love ya, but i dont follow</p>
