FALSE!

Universities DO NO LIE about this.  They have NO REASON TO.  The list of colleges that are need blind and meet full need is a TINY PERCENTAGE.  You have NO FACTS to the contrary.  Capitals are used because this has been discussed here SO MANY TIMES so apparently emphasis is needed.

If this is the former admissions officer that feels so strongly about this topic, how can you be confident that what you experienced at YOUR school is what happens at ALL need blind schools. Further, if you FORMERLY worked as an admissions officer, couldn't the post-Covid environment be different than what you experienced? [/quote]

Because there is ZERO EVIDENCE that they are lying.  Not one testimony, not one document, nothing, despite the years of this flat-earth style conspiracy theory that goes back decades.  Not pre-COVID or post-COVID. None.

/not the former admissions officer but you ignored that person also so who can convince you the earth is a sphere?[/quote]

NP.  You keep thinking if you shout it loudly enough, it will be true.  And you are the flat-earther.  There can be all of the data and circumstantial evidence in the world, but if you haven’t personally seen it yourself, you don’t believe it’s true.

FWIW, OP, the general consensus last time we had this debate (with the exception of OP), is that there are a handful of colleges (Harvard and a maybe a few others) that are rich enough to afford to be truly need blind. It’s possible that some that claimed to be “need blind” could do so for US students because they counted on a substantial # of full-pay students from abroad.  From what we are hearing from kids coming off the wait-list this year, the absence of international students has stripped the cover off of that pretense.  Full-pay kids that would have not gotten in in previous years are suddenly moving up the wait list.  It’s going to be a different world if those international students don’t come back in 2021 & after.  [/quote]
