Emory just announced to change from need-blind to need-aware admission.

So which college ranking top 30 is still “generous”?

Emory was in the group sued over Early Decision. ED has allowed some schools to remain “need blind” by filling a large chunk of class through ED, which skews wealthy. Will be interesting to see if others move to need aware this year.

I appreciate the transparency, I suspect others are doing the same but not disclosing it, maybe they are just "need curious?"

I didn’t realize the Oxford campus had already been need aware.

I think this was a factor for class of '29, RD was not the blood bath of yore for my full pay DC or peers at our high school.

Agree

This is an interesting pairing with the news that Emory is tuition free for families making less than $200k (or something in that neighborhood.)

Almost every top college is need aware for internationals despite being "need blind". It's fake.

Emory will be tuition-free for students whose families earn $200,000 or less https://share.google/VgeYslOdbRsMt0Lkl

Yes, the donut hole problem just got worse. They want the FGLI students, that helps diversity and their social mobility scoring but they need full pay students to enable that.

Or need blind will allow them to minimize the number of students getting free tuition.
