[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the school is really need blind then your status as a full pay family wouldn’t factor into the admissions decision. That’s what need blind means. There is a belief that many so called need blind schools become more need aware as they progress past ED into RD and managing the waitlist. If you believe that, the way you tell a school you are full pay is by [b]declining to fill out the FAFSA [/b]or otherwise requesting an evaluation for financial aid. [/quote]

I don’t know.  If you are rich, why not filling out FASTA?  Which shows you have over 10 million net worth.  It’s a sure way to disqualify you from any aid, but then you signals to need blind schools that you are full pay because your net worth can comfortably afford triple pay.  [/quote]
Because the admissions committee doesn’t see the information from the FAFSA, only whether you indicated you will be filling it out or not. The financial info only goes to the school’s financial aid office, not to the admissions committee. [/quote]
