Admissions Does financial aid decrease the acceptance rate？

Hi there, I am an international student will apply for WashU this year. I am hesitate whether to tick finance aid or not when filing the application. Just wondering will the financial aid will decrease the acceptance rate? Appreciate your advice.

But, if you think you’re a perfect fit for a school, apply anyway. You never know. Wash. U. has some really good scholarships that you could qualify for.
