[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Match stats, URM and full pay. There are admissions books which basically say such applicants are a golden goose, with admissions reps literally giddy when they come across them.[/quote]

+100 DCs good friend was this. They got into 5 Ivies. [/quote]

Ivies are need blind and some not very diverse.  At admitted students day, mine was surprised by lack or URM presence (confirmed by current URM student) and high percentage of elite private school white/Asian kids in her admitted students group.[/quote]

You’ve been told a lie about need blind admissions. Don’t believe it.

That stupid blog post has been around a long time, and has no facts, no evidence, and it written by a woman who makes a fortune selling her services for $1M dollars, primarily to overseas applicants.  Yes, ONE MILLION DOLLARS.  No joke.  She writes it because she needs her "customers" to believe it.

All the years elite colleges have been need blind, not one person of the hundreds - maybe thousands - of admissions officers who have worked there have even hinted that it was a lie.  Including the few dozen like Michelle Hernandez, Chuck Hughes, Rachel Toor and others who have written "tell-all" books about it.  That's quite a conspiracy!  Almost not believable!  Because it isn't.

Schools that claim to be need blind in admission are, in fact NEED BLIND FOR ADMISSION.  End period.

Know why that is easy for them?  Because the top candidates overwhelmingly come from the upper classes.  That's why they can be need blind so easily, and why the majority of their students are from upper income families.  It it self selecting.

So do not be afraid to ask for financial aid at need blind colleges.  [b]The admissions office will not know and it will have no affect on your admission[/b]. [/quote]
