Hello, fellow Pakistani! (I used to live in Islamabad, too.)

I think putting in less does reduce your chances, though I put less because I know my parents aren’t going to pay $50,000 or so for a liberal arts college. Or even $20,000. On a couple of the applications I’ve sent in so far I’ve put in how much I think my parents will be willing to give. It does say somewhere on all apps that you should know that you and your family are responsible for funding your education.

HOWEVER, many schools do not reject your application because you cannot afford the tuition. Check if your college has need-blind admissions. :)
