<p>I posted a thread a while ago somewhat like this but, got no replies :(. So, I'm just going to ask if you have a higher chance of getting accepted with FA to a less selective school with lower endowment or a more selective school with a high endowment. Please answer as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>The inherent problem is that the less selective schools generally have less FA to give out. Consider the source of FA; it comes from the income earned from the school’s endowments. The schools with the GODZILLA-sized endowments are typically the most selective schools. The endowment money is donated by happy, financially successful alumni.</p>
