[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools will be increasingly desperate for full pay students - especially those private schools that have $90k+ tuitions.

I say don’t sweat it. [/quote]

Biggest myth on DCUM unless looking at schools beyond the T100.[/quote]

Are you kidding? You’re quite naive. [/quote]

Been through the cycle twice in five years from a highly regarded private.  Every one who isn't full pay on DCUM, and many who are, VASTLY overestimates how much of an advantage it is in admissions.  And VASTLY underestimates how many full pay families there are.

Nobody said being full pay means you automatically get in. It improves the odds: controlling for SAT score, being full pay takes you from roughly a 1/20 chance of admission to a 1/5 chance at the same school. Rich people will say that this fourfold advantage is a “myth” because they’re so endlessly privileged they think it only counts as an advantage if they can straight up pay to play, like buying a gold pass at Disney.
