my quote: *Is it my imagination or did kids with lesser stats get accepted because they didn’t need aid? My nephew’s stats were just good (not stellar and NO ECs) and he got accepted. *

hoya quote: *There’s been a bit of rumbling about people getting in with lesser stats because of their ability to pay, and while i believe this is one possible aspect to their admissions, it’s also not quite fair to write it off as the end all and be all of decision factors. i had lesser stats than a lot of people that were deferred on this thread AND i applied for FA, but I was still accepted. *

Where are you ^^^ from? Are you from a region/state that doesn’t have many GT apps? Are you a URM? Do you only need a little FA? What was your EFC? Will GT meet your full need without any loans?

My nephew is from Southern Cal, which I think has a decent number of apps. He literally had no EC’s (which is why none of us thought that he’d get accepted.)

His stats were fine, but not stellar. His SAT was below 2200.

His only “hook” that we could see is that they are “full payers.”
