<p>well my family is not the richest, and i dont have the perfect grades for a scholarship. i was woundering if your financial situation might sway them from acceptance to rejection??</p>
<p>Some schools don't admit applicants who require aid if the school doesn't intend to offer sufficient aid and the school doesn't think the applicant can find a way to pay without sufficient aid. It's called yield protection.</p>
<p>Other schools offer admission without sufficient aid (gap) and hope students will find a way to pay but know most of those students won't be able to attend. It's called admit/deny.</p>
<p>And some schools with limited endowments are need-aware, meaning that they have a budget for how much aid they can give yearly, and when it runs out, they admit only those who don't need aid.</p>
