I would rather hear from an admissions offer from HYP and Stanford, where average admit rate is 5 to 6%. This guy worked for schools whose admit rate ranges from 60 to 75%; so, the target for such schools is different from that for HYP.
- ashelmire 8y agoI heard exactly the same from a friend who worked in admissions at an ivy league university. Applying for financial aid materially damages your application. Ability to pay is factored in just like test scores. The rich continue to get opportunities poor kids will never have.

- ashelmire 8y agoI can tell you that list cannot be trusted. The university I spoke of is on that list, but seeing as someone who was in the room making admissions decisions said they consider financial need, it’s clearly bullshit.
