[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges need full pay students and private school families are more likely to have that kind of cash. [/quote]

+100.

Full pay has never hurt a college applicant. In this current environment of federal funding cuts and restrictions on international students, being full pay at any institution (yes, even Ivy+ universities) will be a hook. [/quote]

The reality is, in a private high school, most of your competitors are full pay.  In college admission, you are competing with your classmates, not competing with public school kids.

No, full pay is not a hook.[/quote]

You do realize that not all private school families can afford to be full pay. Many are financial aid families. You must be in a public school setting because you don't understand the typical private school student body.[/quote]

Very few.

40% families in our private high receive financial aid, but most of them are not eligible for financial aid in college.  
Income as high as 300K can still get some financial aid (though little) in private high schools, but not in colleges.
Different standards.[/quote]
