[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't worry, they have an algorithm. They know you are full pay.[/quote]

This. It’s based on the tool: landscape. Based on your address, parents education, job titles.

Signaling comes from ECs.[/quote]
Except that OP seems to think all those things do NOT signal full pay in their case. It sounds like they are full pay only because of an (I assume fairly recent) inheritance. [/quote]

Which happens often. Landscape doesn’t capture careful scrimping and saving to boost 529s or inheritances or grandparent help. So colleges can’t possibly rely on it to tell the complete story. I would select you don’t need FA.

I don’t think you’ll get much of a bump, but doesn’t hurt! [/quote]

well, bigger issues is that if you dont look like your neighbor - you're done. it's really a pretty backward way to look at this imo. colleges literally ask you every dang thing about your income and assets.  and then they act cute and say they dont look at it.  and then they pay a lot more money to another consultant for a product that predicts - not that well - how much money you have. it's there, colleges.  just look at it if you're using this information.

Excellent summary. [/quote]
