[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The process is referred to as the "shaping of the class." See, e.g., Jeff Selingo's Who Gets In and Why.[/quote]
I have also been told by other parents on the advancement committee at my alma matter that, while it is a need-blind institution, it is need blind on the "first pass," that is, during the reading of the app, but perhaps not at later stages. This seems to fit with the back end "shaping" of the class discussed by Selingo.[/quote]

I've got the Selingo book right here.  Can you tell me the page where he says need blind colleges aren't need blind?

[quote]There’s some bad and naive guidance here that may have been true 5 years ago but isn’t how things are working now.

Every former AO will tell you full pay matters a lot now. Even for T20.

The world is different.[/quote]

No they won't, no it isn't, and if it did you would show evidence.[/quote]

Every podcaster and college counselor influencer has said being full pay is an advantage THIS cycle.
Including Mark. And Sam. And Thomas.

Take the blinders off old lady.[/quote]

We calling names now?  That's grownup, that certainly helps your cause.

But thanks for confirming and listing all those podcaster and college counselors you refer to /s.  I guess your tinfoil theory is more important than the concern some poor parent will believe your BS and not apply for financial aid.  Hope that makes you proud![/quote]
DP. Not applying for aid would miss the point of this discussion entirely. Need-blind schools do not consider the financial aid application, so there is no reason not to apply for aid. The financial factors are determined by proxy.[/quote]
