Do students who pay full price without financial aid have a better chance of getting accepted into college

A year ago, the New York Times reported: "Facing fallen endowments and needier students, many colleges are looking more favorably on wealthier applicants as they make their admissions decisions this year."  I ask - was that true?   and is that still true today?

This is a hot topic in the College Confidential college admissions discussion board.  One post asks: "Will my daughter have a better chance of getting acceptance if we check off that we don't need financial aid?"  There are more than 50 responses!

At HowToGetIn.com, we have revamped our Paying for College section to help answer these and other questions for college applicants.  To learn more, visit: http://www.howtogetin.com/pay-for-college/
