[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.. The school websites indicate that they are need blind. [/quote]

OP, I think you are confused about what need blind means. They don’t consider ability to pay when offering admissions, but that doesn’t mean they will give you aid to attend. You understand that right? They may give you aid, but they may not. Admissions for lower income kids isn’t a promise of free or reduced tuition. [/quote]

On the contrary, I don’t think you understand the meaning of “need blind” admissions. As others have mentioned, most schools - even many top universities - have to admit a certain proportion of full-pay students to assure their financial viability. What happens in practice is that there are needy and non-needy applicant pools, with lower admission standards for the latter.[/quote]

Hi! We are in the Independent and private schools thread. So…we aren’t talking about colleges and universities (there is a separate thread for that). Is that where you meant to put this? [/quote]

nope.[/quote]
