[quote=Anonymous]If a school is truly need-blind, they are doing admissions independent of FA applications, and then allocate the FA among the admitted students. The allocation is not blind--they'll offer more to particular kids they want to get, and no school we looked at commits to meeting the full need for all admitted applicants. So some families who applied for aid will get in, but won't be granted any aid. The schools factor that into their yield. If a school is waitlisting a child based solely on FA needs, they aren't need-blind (and not all schools are--some commit to meeting the FA needs of all admitted students, for instance). There are compelling reasons for schools to be on either side of this ("need-aware" vs. "need-blind") so it's not a mark against the school if they're one vs. the other, IMO. [/quote]
