This made me LOL because it's so true. Also, let's remember that being full pay is the single largest advantage one has in college admissions. [/quote]

Over FGLI? Are you serious?[/quote]

My kids Ivy had 75% admitted that needed aid this past cycle. Donut hole sucker here.[/quote]

Given all of the thousands of full pay kids in the area getting denials (vs a mere 1-3 Ivy admits at most schools--many none)---full pay is not the hook people think it is.  [/quote]

Full pay allows a student to apply anywhere, knowing they can attend if admitted. What it [i]does not[/i] do is help in any significant way for admission at need-blind schools. It is not an admissions hook or even a slight tip.

--full pay, 4/0/1570, rejected at nine T50s, waitlisted at five T50s, admitted to four safeties... whether full pay will "help" on presumably need-aware waitlists remains to be seen.[/quote]
