<p>I know that no college would ever admit to this, but is it possible that someone is more likely to be accepted by a college if they are not applying for financial aid than someone who is?</p>
<p>I'm applying to some top liberal arts colleges in the northeast (amherst, bowdoin, bates, williams) but not with a request for financial aid. Would this somehow help my chances?</p>
<p>idk a lot about that but im sure that it depends on how good u are and how good is the college...if they need money they will surely take a the one who's not applying for finantial aid out of 2 similar candidates</p>
<p>yeah i would figure that it would make sense to take more people who are not applying for financial aid.</p>
<p>My stats are as follows-</p>
<p>gpa- 3.8 uw 4.115 w
sat- 700v 680m
satII- writing 800
US history 780
bio e 670</p>
<p>ap's-
us history 5/eng lang 4/world history 4/physics b 3</p>
<p>senior courses-
ap stat
pre calc honors
ap us gov.
ap bio
ap eng lit
ap macroeconomics</p>
<p>I figure my stats are prob on the border for these schools...so maybe not applying for financial aid could help me out?</p>
<p>i think u should be ok at those schools if u didnt apply for finantial aid...ur satII bio score should be a little higher but on my opinion ur in...</p>
<p>bump......</p>
<p>any other thoughts?</p>
