[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For colleges with significant budget deficits (and there are a lot of them), full pay is an institutional priority.[/quote]

It depends on the school. If that is an institutional priority, I'd worry about long term finances of the school. As more top schools go to need blind and give more aid, I could see some lower tier schools taking a full pay kid over a non-full pay kid. As many have already said, the new endowment taxes will force many ivies and similar schools to rethink their strategies. For some of these schools, being full pay may count against you unless you are the child of a potential mega donor.[/quote]

I am confused by this assertion that full pay will hurt applicants’ chance at top schools. Our private HS and privates in our area are killing it with T15 this cycle. The FA kids, even the ones that are URM are going to lower-ranked schools. Based on what I read on this board, those kids should be the ones heading to HYP, but that’s not what I see in reality.

Same here. Especially with heavy waitlist movement, the full pay results are insane from our private.

Kids who ended up needed aid are going down a level for full merit rides to lower ranked schools though grades /stats were competitive.

The top Schools that seem to fully value the full pay element in RD outcomes:

Duke, Penn, Northwestern, UChicago, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Michigan, UCLA, Cal, WashU, Georgetown, Emory, USC
