[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just got off the phone with one of the Tope SLAC admissions officers. They refused to commit to closing the waitlist. They need to fill every single spot in order to survive. My child is on the waitlist, but honestly, we can’t wait until mid August to change our minds.[/quote] how is this possible when most of the top SLACs are need blind? [/quote] Few schools that purport to be need blind are totally need blind. They may be need aware for international students. They may also be need aware for second semester admits (e.g., Middlebury or Hamilton) or programs that start overseas (NYU or Northeastern). Most schools are need aware at the waitlist stage because the schools have allocated most or all of their aid budgets by then. They need the bodies, tuition dollars, and whatever other institutional priorities they didnt yield in RD.[/quote]
