Full Tuition = High Priority

Have the cash to pay for your college tuition? You might very well be more attractive to colleges than those who are in need of financial assistance.  When making application decisions this year, many colleges are accepting students who have the money to pay full tuition, or those from out of state who have to pay more money than in state students.

Institutions that have pledged to admit students regardless of need are finding ways to increase the number of those who pay the full cost in ways that allow the colleges to maintain the claim of being need-blind — taking more students from the transfer or waiting lists, for instance, or admitting more foreign students who pay full tuition.

Private colleges that acknowledge taking financial status into account say they are even more aware of that factor this year.

“If you are a student of means or ability, or both, there has never been a better year,” said Robert A. Sevier, an enrollment consultant to colleges.

Colleges and universities across the country can only afford so many scholarships, and there are many who need them - and more.  They have to look at students who are financially able to help increase revenues, and unfortunately, those who do not need aid are more likely to get in.
