[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]T10s are not all need-blind. That is eroding away slowly. Administrations want it, boards are ambivalent at best.[/quote]

This post is 100% wrong.  The USN T10 are all need blind:

Harvard University.
Columbia University.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Yale University.
Stanford University.
University of Chicago.
University of Pennsylvania.
California Institute of Technology
Johns Hopkins University
Northwestern (3-way tie for #9)

ALL NEED BLIND.  With no evidence any of them plan to change.

[i]U.S. institutions that are need-blind and meet full demonstrated need for both U.S. and international students
There are currently only seven U.S. higher education institutions that are need-blind and meet full demonstrated need for all applicants, including international students.[2] These are:

Amherst College[3]
Curtis Institute of Music
Harvard University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology[4]
Minerva Schools at KGI
Princeton University[5]
Yale University[6]
