Would needing financial aid hurt my chances for admission to UCs?

Hi guys, I was reading some comments from months ago in a UC Davis decision thread and I’ve noticed people mentioning needing financial aid might potentially hurt your chance for admission as the school might overlook you and pick someone who doesn’t need financial aid? I was just wondering if this applies for all UCs?

No, it won’t hurt your chances unless you file FAFSA late and they run out of $.
