[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re full pay no matter what and in fact 3 of those schools are at the top of my juniors list. What I’m now questioning is if there’s any advantage to being full pay. I kind of thought it would give you a bump but now that I can see our school’s scattergrams, it doesn’t look like it. You still have to be pretty near perfect to get into BC and Villanova (and probably the others). Still need a 4.0+, right? Is there any advantage? [/quote]
If may give you the edge  -- with all other things being equal with another applicant. But your full pay kid still needs a weighted 4.0+ to get into BC and Villanova.[/quote]

Villanova and BC are both need blind, so any full pay thumb on the scale wouldn't come into play unless there was a waitlist.

FYI, my 3.9UW/1480 kid was rejected ED1 from Villanova (and we are full pay.)[/quote]
Sorry but 3.9/1480 was just not competitive enough at any price. You only might get a full pay edge if the application is in all other respects equal to another.[/quote]

The SAT range is 1350-1490.  Why is that not competitive enough?[/quote]
