[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes of course, it signals full pay.[/quote]

Why would it need to "signal" anything?

Need aware schools get all the finance info and the small number of need blind/meet full need schools don't consider.[/quote]

Yes but full pay is more complicated than that. [b]They[/b] are looking for other signals.
Schools are looking for potential donors/ speakers/ networkers or ppl who will employ graduates. We are seeing how hard it is for grads to get jobs…

Who is "they"?

This is all conspiracy theory with no evidence and you do a disservice by posting it.

[quote]Our college counselor said it was important for both parents to have updated LinkedIn with clear senior leadership/executive titles conveyed in job titles in common app.[/quote]

Your private college counselor or the one at your HS?

[quote]The signaling is very important for AO (many of who do look at LinkedIn after 1st pass). The $$$ privilege may not hurt at all at certain private colleges and can actually help.[/quote]

Again, please present some links to support this claim at a need blind college.  I do not recall of one instance of a former adcom book or blog that supports that claim.[/quote]
