@MusakParent I think you have a point as if offered a spot at an Ivy, students with wealthy parents who can easily pay sticker price and poor parents who have $0 EFC are more likely to accept and improve yield compared to students whose parents have to worry about paying bills every semester. Ivy adcoms have enough experience to be able to judge that by the clues on the common application, they don’t need to look at financial aid forms to predict that.
