[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So will schools reject an applicant because of needing Financial Aid or accept who they'll accept, but offer that family less knowing they'll probably decline? [/quote] it depends on the school. some of the very top schools are need-blind (STA is and I think Sidwell is). The admit without regard to need and then offer a financial aid package. I don't know what happens if they say, "hey you can afford $35K a year" and the family says "no, we can't". I imagine the family goes elsewhere unless the kid is highly, highly desirable (i.e. a basketball center). Other schools are not need bind (GDS and most of the lower tier schools). financial need factors into admissions. [/quote] Because there’s a limited amount of money in the FA budget, “need blind” is something that occurs early on in the Admissions process. But the finite resources in the FA budget won’t allow it.[/quote]
