brantly Yes. That is my point. Thank you very much for understanding.

I know that funds for internationals are extremely limited in most colleges. I also know that requesting aid will significantly hurt her candidacy. We are ready to borrow loans in our home country to go full-pay.
But to some colleges, we might want to apply for need-based aid considering the cost-benefit balance.
Without counting the loan, our financial situation will probably look somewhat needy. I wanted to know what impact our statement of readiness will have on the admission scrutiny. I tried NPC, but due to the lack of my filing of tax documentation, the outcome didn’t seem to be plausible. I can easily imagine what would happen if we put, say, $30,000 gap per year on the application documents of selective colleges. So I don’t mean to do so.
