[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have written this several times on here but a family member of mine is the Director of Financial Aid at a top10 school and says that "need blind" at their school is indeed 100% need blind. Their office is handed a list of accepted students and they match aid packages to the students.

Development cases (giving above the cost of attendance) is a different situation as is the admissions committee preferentially admitting from private schools or expensive zip codes.  [/quote]

How do you reconcile this with what Lee Coffin says about Dartmouth's AO review process, labelling an application as "NN" = no need? It's just so AO are aware?

Or with this? Which apparently shows the B = budget positive (wish there was some evidence for this)?

I do think not needing need, plus 2 other institutional priorities (legacy + undersubscribed major), can be a bump.

Wow, so AOs are need aware even at need blind schools?  Dartmouth is no need blind then?[/quote]

Emory is the only T25 private officially no longer need blind.....[/quote]

I am surprised that Georgetown is not…[/quote]
