[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who speculated that software is used as a substitute for direct need-based decision making. I think another PP hit the nail on the head - if the initial class is “mis-shaped” as in requiring too much financial aid the software tells them to make certain adjustments like take more kids from CT or private school. It is blended with other adjustments until the class has the characteristics it needs to have. This is backdoor need aware but the schools can get away with saying they are need blind because the individual applicant’s financial situation is not taken into account. But the fact that classes have such consistent ratios of financial need is no accident. Schools have financial aid budget and need to manage around it. [/quote] Exactly, and nothing is wrong, colleges don't live on thin air.[/quote]
