I think almost every school is interested in building its international profile, so being an international and not needing FA is to your advantage.

However, I think that the “bump” it will give you is overrated… I have no real basis on which I’m making this claim, but rather just the observation that everybody I know here (athlete, ethnic minority, legacy, international, etc.) is just as qualified to be here as anybody else. So I don’t think it will make a “no” decision into a “yes” decision, but it might help your case if you’re on the fence.
