Just a tip: Never say what your name is in CC, even if it is only your first name. It kind of destroys your anonymous identity on CollegeConfidential…

Asking for FA as a white applicant anyplace other than Andover I am told can have an impact on your chances. I’d be curious to hear others’ thoughts on that too.

@divdad yes unfortunately requesting FA regardless of race will place you in a more competitive applicant pool. This is because many of the prep schools haven’t reached high enough endowments and scholarship funds to offer blind admissions.
