<p>Does putting in less assured support reduce your chances of getting admission? I am still confused wheather my family would be willing to pay $xx,xxx per month for an average liberal arts college?</p>
<p>Please.. HELP!</p>
<p>Hello, fellow Pakistani! (I used to live in Islamabad, too.)</p>
<p>I think putting in less does reduce your chances, though I put less because I know my parents aren't going to pay $50,000 or so for a liberal arts college. Or even $20,000. On a couple of the applications I've sent in so far I've put in how much I think my parents will be willing to give. It does say somewhere on all apps that you should know that you and your family are responsible for funding your education.</p>
<p>HOWEVER, many schools do not reject your application because you cannot afford the tuition. Check if your college has need-blind admissions. :)</p>
<p>Nice to know that, MimbleWimble!</p>
<p>My friend applied to Trinity last year. He had $6,250 assured support. When his decision came out, the college asked him to contribute only $4,500.</p>
<p>I don't think my colleges are need-blind. Eventhough, $10,000 per year is affordable but I wouldn't wanna pay that for an econ major at a liberal arts college.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply, by the way.</p>
