Why would it need to "signal" anything?

Need aware schools get all the finance info and the small number of need blind/meet full need schools don't consider.[/quote]

Yes but full pay is more complicated than that. They are looking for other signals.
Schools are looking for potential donors/ speakers/ networkers or ppl who will employ graduates. We are seeing how hard it is for grads to get jobs…

Our college counselor said it was important for both parents to have updated LinkedIn with clear senior leadership/executive titles conveyed in job titles in common app.

The signaling is very important for AO (many of who do look at LinkedIn after 1st pass). The $$$ privilege may not hurt at all at certain private colleges and can actually help.

Please name which schools look at these factors. Or is this the rumor mill?[/quote]

It’s pretty easy to figure out if you parse through data….

Vanderbilt; Rice; Cornell; Dartmouth; WashU[/quote]

Stop with he “figure it out”.  Provide evidence.  You can’t, it’s BS.[/quote]

Why are you so agitated? [/quote]

I am not agitated.  You are posting misinformation and I am trying to point that out and counter it so that people don't make bad decisions.[/quote]

No one is making a decision based on this thread. This is not misinformation - it’s my information. Maybe not relevant or applicable to you?

This has been my experience bc we have a high HHI, and wealth markers /signals that I wanted to make sure wouldn’t be disadvantageous in the process. I’ve talked with 4 former AOs at T20s and 3 other private counselors. I’m not in the DMV btw.

Do your own diligence always. 
Just sharing what I’ve learned - as it applies to my kid’s app and our situation. Our strategy worked but again who really ever knows why.

Going through this process again now and I’m realizing how clueless I was the first time around.
