checking the box but not sending forms

<p>What would happen if I checked that I am applying for financial aid on the common app, but never ended up applying for it? would that affect my admission chances? or are financial aid matters completely separate from admissions at need blind schools, save for seeing if one has checked off that box?</p>

<p>i'm talking about ivies and ivy-level schools btw, if that's relevant lol</p>
