[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love parents who are banking on being full pay to get their kids into college.  Y'all really think your money can buy anything.[/quote]

Full pay in itself is not a guaranty of admission, but it allows an applicant the option of ED and not have to wait for financial aid...and ED has higher probability of acceptance if gpa/score is high enough[/quote]

Apart from ED, many schools will consider full pay as a positive factor, particularly now when all schools have taken a huge financial hit from Covid.  This effect will probably longer a few years.  I can’t believe posters are even questioning this, outside of the schools with huge endowments, finances are tight.[/quote]

probably true for SLACs but not for popular public state schools.[/quote]

I don’t agree,  they had to pay for covid related measures just like everyone else in a year where states are grabbling with budget shortfalls.  Taking oos full pay would definitely help the bottom line in places like Michigan and California.[/quote]

Full pay OOS definitely helps at a school like Michigan or other states (anyone else know - this is the only one I know) where state budgets are tight. Even with the huge endowment the OOS money is important to Michigan. You have the have the grades though. It won’t make up for bad grades. It will make the difference between someone who can pay and can’t where there is only a slight grade difference but the minimum (which is high) is met. [/quote]
