[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I concur with the PP who says very few apps are actually getting read these days. The easiest way to get you app read? Click no on the "Do you need financial aid?" question. Need blind is totally BS. If you need aid from a great college you better be an underrepresented minority, foster kid, or from a weird geography.[/quote] I worked in admissions at a need blind New England liberal arts college, and we read all applications. It made ZERO impact to the admissions decision whether an applicant applies for financial aid. In fact, the financial aid office was separate from the admissions office. This is also true at other competing colleges including the Ivies. Granted not all colleges that claim to be need blind truly are...Colleges that have large endowments tend to be true to their word when they say they are need blind. [/quote]
