<p>My parents applied for financial to stay on the safe side (because of the economy) but I'm still worried because...let's say that my application is good but since I applied for financial aid and I don't qualify for it, then will they NOT accept me because of the financial aid??? I'm so worried :( !!!</p>
<p>If you don’t qualify for FA, I don’t see why it should effect your chances at all.</p>
<p>I think it could affect your admission outcome in some schools. Not being willing to be full pay raises a red flag that you may be shopping around for the best FA deal and/or may not accept an offer without FA. It depends on the school. They could take a shot by admitting you without offering FA, waitlist you or reject you if they have enough full pay applicants just as qualified as you are.</p>
