As stated in the title, I am just wondering if my chance of admission will be comparatively higher if I don’t need financial aid from colleges?
Maybe at the places that are need aware and full need. But the chances of it moving you from a deny/WL to an accept is really low.
^ And as an applicant you don’t care if a school is need aware or need blind. If you like the school, the NPC suggests it’s affordable, and it’s a good match for you, you should apply. Aware/blind just affects the chance of admission (up or down), and then usually only if you’re on the cusp.
You noted on another thread that you are a transfer student who needs no aid. It is fine to have a couple of reach schools but for the most part you should apply to colleges that make sense given your academic stats. Being full pay won’t get your into a college you are not otherwise qualified to attend.
