Common App: "Do you intend to pursue need-based financial aid?*"

I have a similar question, but from a different perspective. My family will most likely not qualify for anything, at least when I am the only one in college. We are potentially interested in the federal loan that I can take, and a scholarship that requires the FAFSA. If we put that we are applying, does that hurt my chances at a need aware school, even though we most likely don’t qualify?
