“If you do not pursue aid at Penn, you will not be filling out a FAFSA or any assorted financial aid documents. For foreign citizens or nationals (other than those from Canada and Mexico), your status as applying for aid is determined by marking that part of the Common Application. In answer to your second question, we evaluate applicants based when where they attend high school (regardless of their citizenship), so your application will be considered in the context of Florida, and read by the regional admissions officer for Florida (in this case, me).”

This is directly from a Penn admissions counselor. The reason for a distinction between international and domestic applications is that for international penn is need-aware whereas for domestic they are need blind. Thus you will be seen in the context of your high school (like a domestic applicant).
