[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What isn't often discussed, but should be is that if you can fully pay for university and don't need any financial aid, you get an edge up in admissions. Most kids at a Big 3 have parents who can fully pay AND are willing to fully pay for private college. All thing being equal if you have two kids with similar stats, the full pay kid is going to be admitted. It really is affirmative action for rich people. Most people have to fully pay. Our HHI is around $175,000. We can't pay for a Big 3 or private university. [/quote] This is true *except* at need-blind schools, which includes all Ivies and many of the other top 25 schools. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need-blind_admission[/quote]
