[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They cast a wide net, and remember application fees constitute a fabulous revenue source.[/quote]

I know - that extra $3MM a year they get from application fees makes a huge difference.

For that $80 application fee or so, their computer will weed out the first round, so it's pure revenue for Harvaard.  [/quote]

Yes but for subsequent rounds, admissions staff will extend far more than $80 worth of labor to evaluate individual applications and make final offer and waitlist decisions. The fees from the auto-rejected help pay fir that process. It’s a wash for the school.[/quote]

Not when they are poring over docs for full pay or close to full pay students.  Even if they invest $100 worth of application review, they have a nose for full pay students who are willing to fork over $300,000+ in four years.[/quote]

You people are making stuff up with no data or evidence, and virtually everything you type is wrong.

Harvard is one of a few schools with endowments so large they could have all students attend free.  The lawsuit data showed no preference to full pay, in fact it indicated the opposite.  They have ZERO need to do what you suggest, and there is no evidence or testimony supporting it.  All we have is your baseless speculation, which is unneeded and unhelpful. [/quote]

How do you think H became the #1 endowment university?  Not by giving away money.  Sure, they'll have token cases, loss leaders, to entice even more students to apply.  Charity cases are just that - charity.  H needs them to use in their sleek promotional brochures.  Full-pay students have better chances.  [/quote]
