[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed that the privates we applied to all say that FA doesn't affect admission. But how not? If there was a truly blind admissions process, the schools may end up with too many FA kids and not enough full pay, meaning they can't afford to give out as much FA. I've also heard that you have a better chance of being accepted if you're full pay. We applied for FA but I'm starting to think that it's possible that it may hurt our chances of being accepted.[/quote] My understanding is that FA doesn't affect the initial admission decision based solely on the merits of your student application. This is the part that's "blind" as advertised. But if the school, upon review of the FA application, then decides that they can't offer the amount of FA needed, the initial admit decision may turn into something else. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.[/quote]
