[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^and if this is a DD instead of a DS, definitely consider a women's college like Wellesley for a reach. Women's colleges have fewer applicants than comparable co-ed schools, so chances of admission are higher. I assume you will be full pay? If so, that definitely works to your advantage at need aware schools (which most are outside the top schools).[/quote]

How do schools know you are "full pay" thus give you a bump in admissions?  You can always fudge the first year and apply to FA the second year onward....[/quote]

Please note that at some schools, if you don't apply for financial aid freshman year, you can't apply in later years unless you can demonstrate unusual hardship. Since the CSS asks for previous years' tax info, some schools are concerned that parents spend freshman year hiding their money and then apply for FA sophomore year. This isn't the norm, but be aware that it's a possibility and something you should ask about.

The college application asks if you will be applying for FA. It's not binding (you can say no and then decide to apply), but saying no suggests the strong possibility that you will be full pay.[/quote]
