<p>Hey guys I was just wondering. Does applying for Fafsa or financial aid at a school lower your addmission chances?</p>
<p>Only at some schools.

<p>If you need the financial aid in order to attend, then it makes absolutely no sense to worry about this one. Apply for aid. If you don’t get in because of that, well then frankly you don’t want to be associated with them anyway.</p>
<p>Sit your parents (or whoever it is who is helping you pay for your education) down and talk about the money. How much is going to be available? Use that as your figure when you look for your Financial Safeties.</p>
