<p>does applying for financial aid in ED lower one's chances of getting into to Penn (college)?</p>
<p>Penn is need blind. Whether or not you apply for aid, and whether or not you recieve any, is completely separate from your admissions decision.</p>
<p>okie doke, thanks!</p>
<p>unless you are an intl student</p>
<p>u should know that all ivies are need-blind but u do need to check on yr app if you’re applying for FA. i don’t trust the whole need blind thing and i’ve heard that sometimes ivies will waitlist a kid to wait and see if they have enough $$ but applying ED will only give u 1st dibs so u’ll be fineeeeeeeee</p>
