<p>When applying to a school ED or EA.. do your chances increase when you do not apply for financial aid? Does it increase your chances even when you do RD? I've been hearing this through the grapevine, and I am just courious if this is true.</p>
<p>All the colleges I've received information from place great emphasis on the fact that applying for financial aid has nothing to do with whether you're accepted, regular or early admissions. Hey, this is America; if an institution isn't need-blind, it would be attacked by hordes of angry Civil Righters and be a pile of smoking rubble before they reviewed your application ;)</p>
<p>tkm agreed^</p>
<p>some colleges though don't have enough money to support everyone. but if they say they're need-blind, they probably are</p>
