Your child's chances of getting into college could come down to dollars and cents.

A new survey, conducted by Inside Higher Ed, found admissions directors are taking a closer look at a student's ability to pay.
And recruiting students who don't need financial aid appears to be a high priority.
The study found 10% of four-year colleges are admitting full-pay students with lower grades and scores compared to other admitted applicants.

It also highlighted the push to admit out of state and international students, who pay higher tuition.

Could come down to dollars and cents???? It has always been about the money, especially since the tuition cap was lifted, unless of course you can throw a football, run with a football, catch a football or block for those that can do any of the above.
