<p>If a student is having no problem paying for college and does not take any scholarships or financial aid does that help his chances of getting in to a school like USC?</p>
<p>It wouldn’t in the January and February acceptance waves because the financial aid stuff wouldn’t have been received yet - they wouldn’t know who was applying for aid and who wasn’t.</p>
<p>no you dont have a better chance over a better-qualified candidate just b/c you’re rich. sorry.</p>
