<p>^^please READ the threads I have attached above to understand the potential chances for an international applicant…</p>
<p>…each Stanford class of newly matriculating students consists of approximately 10-12% internationals…in a class of 1700 there will be about 170-200 international students attending…</p>
<p>…all international applicants are considered in context of “need-aware” compared to all US citizens or US permanent residents who are considered “need-blind”…</p>
<p>…hypothetical example: if there are two applicants from Ukraine with identical academic records (scores/grades) who are the top international chess champions or two applicants who are the top Olympic level gymnasts or two applicants who have won the Tchaikovsky Competition…the applicant who may need no financial aid or less aid may have an edge over the applicant who may need financial aid…BUT…one really never knows for CERTAINTY that this happens…the one who needs financial aid may have a better “COMPELLING” story to move the admissions committee over the one who doesn’t need financial aid…</p>
<p>…or both students may be admitted…one never knows…unless you apply…</p>
