<p>^It really depends on the schools. Some top schools, like Harvard, are need-blind, so paying full tuition has no effect whatsoever.
And I completely disagree with squasher001; UPenn is one of the most selective schools in the country, and Harvard’s admission rate is still crazy low even for children of Harvard graduates or faculty.</p>
<p>UPenn (ED): high reach
UChicago (EA): high reach
UC-Berkeley: mid reach
UC-LA: high match / low reach
UC-San Diego: high match
Cornell: mid reach
NYU Stern: high match / low reach
Duke: low reach
Northwestern: low reach
Brown: high reach
BU: mid match
Harvard: high reach</p>
<p>Good luck! :)</p>
