[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard and Yale really do not look. They don’t actually need the tuition because their endowment could support them. They’ve always had policies that don’t expect you to pay over a certain amount unless you have a lot of money. Some colleges absolutely look because their margins are much tighter.[/quote]

Even though no school is 100% need-blind (despite what they claim), HYPS are the closest to being 100% need blind because of their insanely large endowments. Money is practically no object for them. Still though I think 100% need-blind is a myth.  If it really didn't make any difference at all, then schools wouldn't require applicants to also designate their FA status on the part of the application that is reviewed by the adcoms who will end up making the final admission decision. If a school was 100% need-blind then FA status would be masked until an admissions had been made. No school does that, not even HYPS. [/quote]

Somehow for all their ‘need blindness’ they regularly accept kids with very average records of achievement who come from money.
There’s definitely some kind of ‘looking’ going on. [/quote]
