<p>just wondering…</p>
<li><p>if your net family income is over 200K per year, is there instantly no consideration for financial aid?</p></li>
<li><p>do colleges put you at a disadvantage when it comes to admissions?</p></li>
<li><p>what other threats are there?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>ps, its “for a friend of mine,” not me…</p>

Ann Arbor
UCs</p>
<p>come on, it got viewed 35 times and still no response?!?!??! </p>
<p>its an easy question!</p>
<p>Financial aid is unlikely, certainly no need-based I would suspect.</p>
<p>Assuming you live in the US, nearly every college in the US evaluates its admissions on a need-blind basis.</p>
<p>If you are a white kid, it doesn't help. Colleges like low-income, high-achieving minorities, but assuming your stats are good your chances won't really be affected by your financial good.</p>
<p>I've heard that colleges might expect more of you (since you presumably have more resources), but I have no idea if it's true.</p>

<p>Not true. Not checking the financial aid box can be an advantage at certain schools.</p>
<p>ya that quote is completely fallacious. Nearly every college in the US is need-aware. Check your sources, nic767</p>
<p>I had called 5 colleges (all somewhat small LACs) and 3 out of 5 said they were need-blind. 2 said they were NOT. Out of the 3 that said they were need blind, 2 told me they were NOT need blind for ED. So, it all depends! </p>
<p>While it sounds very nice and ethical for a college to contend they are need-blind...keep in mind that they are BUSINESSES. Need I say more?</p>
<p>audiophile and dooit, what kind of colleges aren't need blind?</p>
<p>The ones below the top-tier? The kind that actually has a limited budget?</p>
