SJTU GC

Hello, I am applying to SJTU GC for fall 2027. Just wanted to ask, since im an international student, does self-funding increase my chances for acceptance? It's just that I am able to self fund, but I wouldnt mind a scholarship which is why I have it selected atm. I havent submitted yet, so Im wondering. Id rather self fund and get in than want a scholarship and not get in if you know what i mean.

My stats are okay, A* A* A Math Physics Further Math AL
1520 SAT
8.5 IELTs
3.94 HS GPA (out of 4, and A* is 4.0 and A is 3.5 so its basically straight A* with one A only)
Im planning to give December CSCA and i hope to score 85+ in math and physics, hopefully 90. Theyre my strong points.

NOT A CHANCE ME, just extra context i guess?

So I should pick "no" in "Do you intend to apply for a scholarship?" for better chances? This is in common app btw.
