[quote=Anonymous]The FA checkbox is not visible to AOs during application reading at need blind schools. It only comes into play in shaping of the class via algorithm. Not checking the box and not including SSN are about the only things you can do, other than play up the employment title and include expensive activities, if any. The remaining factors are baked into the algorithm used on the back end in the shaping of the class (Landscape, parent occupation and education, etc). I don't think OP's situation, barely full pay, is likely to be all that helpful at need blind schools. At best, it could help if the student is on waitlists. One additional possibility - speculative - is that College Board's data grab might include an optional question that asks income level. Make sure your student fills that out ASAP, erring on the high side, hoping that the income level data point somehow gets used by the Landscape tool.[/quote]
