Internationals

<p>I was always under the impression that being international hurts big time, but the thread below has really confused me:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/stanford-university/11510-international-student-helps-hurts-stanford.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/stanford-university/11510-international-student-helps-hurts-stanford.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>So, according to that thread, if someone is an international who hasn’t applied for fin aid, they have no disadvantage???
Is this still true? Even for gigantic countries like India?</p>

<p>And, does Stanford divide internationals regionally according to country of high school or nationality?</p>
