<p>"FA= yes, (efc near zero)
decision-> waitlisted</p>
<p>accepted- columbia swarth cornell (attending swat)
waitlisted HY Duke Dartmouth Amherst
Reject williams "</p>
<p>by the way, I was accepted as a freshman before without FA (I was international back then so I didn’t apply for FA).</p>
<p>Of course, I couldn’t afford to go there, so did not attend</p>
<p>What other Tier 1 schools are need-aware?</p>
<p>B is the only school I’ve heard of that’s need blind for fr admissions and need aware for transfers, but I haven’t looked at the websites of all Tier 1 schools to check their policies.</p>
<p>I think it’s pretty common for colleges to be need aware for transfers. Example: Hamilton ([Hamilton</a> College Becomes Need-Blind in Admissions - Admissions & Student Aid - The Chronicle of Higher Education](<a href=“http://chronicle.com/article/Hamilton-College-Becomes/64548/]Hamilton”>http://chronicle.com/article/Hamilton-College-Becomes/64548/)). Transfers are a convenient way for colleges to get full pay students, while still being able to advertise being need blind.</p>
<p>Wesleyan University states that it is need aware for transfers.</p>
<p>[Transfer</a> Students, Admission - Wesleyan University](<a href=“http://wesleyan.edu/admission/applying/admission_types/transfer_students.html]Transfer”>http://wesleyan.edu/admission/applying/admission_types/transfer_students.html)</p>
<p>Applied for FA: no
Decision: WL / Accepted
Other Schools Applied: None</p>
<p>Update:</p>
<p>Applied for FA: Yes
Decision: Waitlisted–> Accepted
FA Package: About 20k in grants, much better package than Penn or Wesleyan, but not as good as Yale’s.
Other schools: Accepted: Yale, Penn, Wesleyan; Waitlisted: Dartmouth, Swarthmore; Denied: Amherst </p>
<p>It looks like financial aid plays a huge role when initially screening candidates for admission, but not as much with the waiting list?</p>
<p>Applied for FA: No
Decision: Accepted
FA package: N/A
Other schools: Accepted: UCLA, Vanderbilt. Rejected: Stanford, Columbia, UC Berkeley</p>
<p>I think people should also include their college GPAs and SAT scores to provide a little more information.</p>

Other schools:
Accepted: UChicago, UPenn
Waitlisted: None
Rejected: NYU Gallatin
Pend: CMU</p>
<p>I think it’s difficult to include GPA/SATs if we’re trying to determine if FA is a key dependent variable. Otherwise, we’d have to include (and then adjust for) all the other variables, which would basically be a decisions thread. Plus it’d be difficult to do any kind of adjustment for qualitative variables.</p>
