[quote=Anonymous]Look, all colleges pay attention to need. Some do so directly, and thus are need-aware. Others refrain from transmitting the FAFSA, qualifying them as "need-blind". But those "need-blind" schools can make a real good guess as to an applicant's finances based on where they live, the school they attend, the extracurricular activities (or lack thereof), and what the recommenders say about them. Pay close attention to the essay as well, as this provides another opportunity to reinforce that your family will be able to pay full freight. So these schools are "need-blind", but they're most certainly aware of who is applying and the resources they bring to bear. They may not get every kid right, but they get close enough to feel good about the revenue the class will bring in. [/quote]
