[quote=Anonymous]Out of curiosity, I looked up a bunch of schools that define “need blind” on their web sites. They seem to agree that “need blind” is particular to the student: “a candidate’s financial need” (Dartmouth), “how much your family can afford to pay” (Grinnell), language like that. They aren’t disclaiming the use of proxies for ability to pay that might be inaccurate for individuals but work at the level of shaping a class to ensure the school makes budget. There are scholarship students at every boarding school, but if you enroll 100 boarding school students, you can bank on at least 92 of them being full pay. The use of proxies like that, or zip code, parents’ professions, aren’t directly about “how much your family can afford to pay” and therefore seem to be consistent with the stated need-blind policies.
