[quote=Anonymous]The quotes I’ve seen focus on “need blind” and they say they’re going to increase funding for financial aid, but I haven’t seen a commitment to “meet full need.” At the end of the day, affluent students are more likely to be granted admission to these highly competitive schools as a result of advantages that they have that result in higher grades/test scores/etc. The cynic in me thinks they’ve run the numbers and figured out that the school is competitive enough now that they can admit without consideration of ability to pay and it is not likely to substantially change their financial picture. By not committing to meet full need, they aren’t taking a risk. If they over-admit poor kids, they just don’t give them all they need to attend, and they don’t show up. One thing most if these “need blind” schools don’t talk about is that the policy usually doesn’t apply to the wait list. [/quote]
