[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all those who say full pay students get added admissions benefits I can only add our experience this year. DD applied early admission (not ED) to 4 privates and 4 public colleges and we were not seeking any financial aid. She was deferred at 3 privates and accepted early (with merit $$) at 3 publics. So full pay was no added benefit. [/quote] Your DD applied EA, which doesn't give the same bump as ED. One piece of the ED game is that schools are looking to bump up their matriculation rates (which are used in those rankings). Because ED is binding, they know almost 100% of those kids will be matriculating (exceptions are granted only if something really big changes in the applicant's circumstances, for example the family can no longer pay tuition). Bottom line: ED applicants, who have committed to going if accepted, get a bump that isn't extended to EA applicants who could matriculate somewhere else.[/quote]
