<p>For top notch ivies, and ivies in general, how much does financial aid matter in the acception. Say i dont need financial aid, would that improve my chances?</p>
<p>Nope, they are all(I think, 99% sure) need blind. So those <60,000 people who receive paid for tuition/room&board have the same chance as the millionaire family who won’t feel a dent.</p>
<p>Edit: Unless you’re an international, that changes the situation. Some are need blind for internationals some are not.</p>
<p>No, aid is not an issue at the top ivies, but it is at every other college in the US.</p>
