I’ve been to two of the schools here and loved them, and U think they’re both genuinely generous schools.

They certainly say they’re need blind.

But just counting high SAT scores, success at lacrosse or national music performance awards as great things is a way to end up with a relatively affluent student without admitting that you’re trying to do that.

If the top schools truly want to be absolutely need blind, they should choose students purely based on grades, income-adjusted SAT scores and a lottery.
