[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please people, [b]get back to the original question.[/b] I think the OP has a good point-- does the applicant have a better chance of admittance if they apply as a full pay.? Keep in mind, you could complete financial aid requests for their soph,junior and senior year and receive $$. Do admission offices separate applications for students asking for aid and those you do not?  To the students who will not receive any significant aid, should they simply apply full pay?[/quote]+1.  You hit it right on the head.  That's the impression I also got from OP's original question.  If I were to hazard a guess, a full pay pile might warrant an additional look and consideration assuming that all the other academic credentials are competitive.[/quote]OP needed an additional $20,000 for college tuition and seemed to debate whether they should live off one salary and just pay the full tuition.  That is very, very similar to what we went through.  In the end, we decided to bite the bullet and not apply for financial aid.  We will never know if that was a deciding factor in our daughter's admittance but it probably didn't hurt that we were full pay.  Nor will we know if we would've gotten anything even $5000.

Bottom line is my daughter loves her school, is flourishing, and parents make their decisions based on their financial and personal situation.  Our decision was the right one,, our choice, and we were fortunate to be able to pay even at sacrifice.[/quote]
