<p>Does requesting for financial aid for top ivies decrease ur chances??</p>
<p>nope not at all. If you are low income, it will actually work in your favor if you can elaborate that on your application. They want economic diversity</p>
<p>The Ivies are all what they call ‘need blind’, meaning that the admissions office doesn’t see your financial status beyond what you might say in your admissions application. The financial aid office, completely separate, then reviews the financial aid applications of accepted students and makes a decision as to financial aid.</p>
<p>well yeah, but if you write essays about your personal financial struggles and you have above average stats, they are likely to take you over someone with 2400s. Trust me, I know</p>
