[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's an over priced rich kid school? [/quote]

Is it so bad if it has a high % of UMC students? The class is still highly qualified. [/quote]

Those rich kids pay for the poor kids, but OP is too stupid to know that. [/quote]

Somehow the most academically respected schools in the country manage to be need blind. Most manage to be full need met. The very best are full need met without loans. It's hard to take a school that need full tuition students badly enough to be need aware when all of the schools they want to be compare themselves to are need blind [/quote]

A number of LACs are need aware including high ranked ones like Carelton and Haverford. They meet full need but are choosier with respect to which students they want to give massive aid to. Similarly, few schools are need blind for international. Frankly I don’t see it as a disadvantage and I think so called need blind schools have techniques to avoid busting the financial aid budget. They don’t look at individual applicants but control this with zip codes, public vs private, etc. there is remarkable consistency in terms of percentage that receives aid every year. This is not accidental. They are need blind at the application level but use statistics to control their overall obligation kind of like redlining [/quote]
