[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, not at the top 20, or maybe even top 30 anymore.  So many are able and willing to pay full price, and with test optional, it still won't matter[/quote]

What do you mean nope? There are many many schools where it does help even if they are not up to your standards.[/quote]

My standards?  I said it didn't matter for top 20 or 30 (said nothing about my standards).  My point is at top schools, full pay isn’t the hook you think it is[/quote]

+1. Full pay is not at all a hook at the top universities. Full pay and extremely wealthy? Now that's a hook. My friend is a billionaire. Her DC is a good student at a good school, definitely not the valedictorian though. She still got into HYP, because the family is probably subsidizing a ton of scholarships for underprivileged students with their generous donations. [/quote]

The list of blind schools where full pay does not help is easily googled, and yes they are mostly top schools.

PP's example is a development admit, which comes though an entirely different office than admissions office first, similar to an athletic recruit.[/quote]

In the 568 litigation it is suggested that development admits are themselves a violation of need blind policies, which makes sense. [/quote]
