<p>is their any correlation between getting accepted and applying for financial
aid? for example, does applying to css profile or fafsa increase chance of getting in? what happens if someone said that he/she will apply for FA in the application but ended up not applying?</p>
<p>its not supposed to matter if you applied for financial aid or not, cuz most colleges are need-blind, meaning they wont see your financial info when they are reviewing your app</p>
<p>obviously if you are really poor that could be a hook, and at the same time if you are really rich and donate that could be a hook as well</p>
