<p>If i apply for financial aid, will it hurt my chances of getting into the college?</p>
<p>depends on the college. if the college is “need-blind” then no it wont hurt your chances. if the college isn’t need-blind then yeah it might hurt your chances</p>
<p>Where are you applying? If they are publics, the answer is probably “no.” If the schools are top elites, the answer may also be “no.”</p>
<p>Usually I see universities suggesting to the students to apply for financial aid even if you estimate zero aid.</p>
