Scholarships

I was wondering if ticking the ‘I would like to be considered for a scholarship’ box on the CommonApp, does this put you in a separate application pool or lower your chances? If not, why wouldn’t everyone click this?

I am speaking specifically about Occidental College

At the info session, they mentioned the checkbox and said that they don’t know why anyone would NOT check it. So check it.

They did not explain why they have it, but there you go.
