[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Full pay helps[/quote]

Do you indicate full pay on the application? How does full pay help?[/quote]

You don’t complete a FAFSA or other financial aid forms.[/quote]

So if you don't complete FAFSA/aid to submit with the application, that can be taken into consideration? Does FAFSA come later in the process?
Sorry, I have a 10th and we're not there yet[/quote]

Yes…many schools give preference to people that don’t need aid.  The very top 15 schools are need-blind and don’t care if you need aid but they have massive endowments.[/quote]

We filled out the FAFSA but applied early decision (which implies willingness to pay full price). Got in, and are now paying 90k per year. Be careful what you wish for! [/quote]

Anyone can fill out the FAFSA, but if the school's NPC said you would get $0, then you get $0.  If it said you should receive aid, then you lobby the school that their FA calculations are incorrect...and worst case you withdraw your ED (which you are allowed to do for financial reasons).[/quote]
