<p>wow, is everyone here on a debate frenzy here? If you guys seriously cared about helping ppl…you would actually help the OP with his question. I went beyond what he asked b/c his question was quite philosophical (plz read it over again before replying back to me as if i’m incompetent). I assumed what I inferred from his question and statements. I didn’t want to be like “calm down it’s no big deal” and be done with that little advice. If that was so, the OP could have gone over to his neighbor and shared his concern or even gone to the IO website or whatever…</p>
<p>and PD, I think you’re getting admissions completely wrong. As I’ve said before, financial need is seperate unless the college states that it isn’t. You wouldn’t have gotten into S if you hadn’t written a good essay and hadn’t had the satisfying grades. Don’t mislead yourself and others to think that there is some need aware policy that is examined simultaneously with judging an international student application during admissions when it isn’t actually announced by the college.</p>
