Is it worth mentioning that you don’t need scholarships/financial aid in a LOCI?
I’m sorry if this comes across as insensitive, but I tried finding any other posts relevant to this topic and wasn’t able to.
I got WL at Columbia recently and plan on sending in a LOCI. I am very fortunate that I am able to afford 100% sticker on my own and I was wondering if mentioning this would impact the committee’s decision for me favourably? (Assuming that I will word it in a way that won’t make them think I’m a prick.)
I can’t think of any way that the committee would know this information about me otherwise and I am assuming that there is some sort of mandate for them to avoid giving out money as much as possible, i.e. would be something they would like to hear.
Let me know if anyone has any insight or thoughts!
