^^I don’t agree with that. MANY students are admitted to schools that can’t afford them. The admissions office admits those who are qualified, the FA office gives out FA based on the FAFSA or other forms like the CSS. Most schools don’t meet the needs of their students and admit many who can’t afford the school (the admissions office doesn’t know who can and who cannot afford it because the admissions office doesn’t see the FA applications).
At a few schools that do meet full need and that are need aware, the admissions office and the FA office ‘talk’, sometimes not until taking students off the wait list.
