Putting international and financial aid in same sentence may shift the situation.

Internationals statistically have a poor alumni giving rate. Private schools need to rebuild their endowments; they may be looking more for the student who does not stress “I Need” but rather stresses “I have to offer.” I think that schools will be paying a wee bit more attention to applicants who have a greater cultural likelihood of giving in the future.

Your listed stats have nothing about giving back to your community or school. Its all ME, MY PRIZE, etc.
