[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve heard it said there are no safety schools. Admissions are very competitive. Far more applicants than spaces. Your best bet is to apply to as many as possible and make it clear that you are full-pay with the means to make additional financial support to the school.  [/quote]

Super curious how you make clear you have "the means to make additional financial support to the school" within the bounds of the limited essay questions on most of these applications. What kind of name and prestige dropping does that require? [/quote]

Unless you are a major player, whose name they will already recognize as a person to provide massive financial support, this is a non-issue.

They know you're full pay if you don't ask for FA.

Not always the way it works.

I'm aware of a HOS suggesting to an applicant's parent that a sizeable donation ($100K) would guarantee admission. This HOS is no longer there and this was during period of energetic fund raising. But the people on campus that care about "additional financial support" are the HOS and the Director of Development / Fund Raising,[/quote]
