[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just here to reiterate that "getting more students into the non-tuition-paying category" means students admitted and choosing to enroll, in a need-blind admissions environment.

They should drop the pretense of need-blind since need will, in fact, play a role in this process one way or another. Right now it's on the back end, but one bad algorithm from enrollment management consulting can really mess with the budget.[/quote]

Because of Princeton's current numbers, it wouldn't need to drop its need blind policy; it can get where it wants without doing so, by giving more aid to students already getting it.  But i agree that there are other schools (like Dartmouth) that would really have to go need-aware (in favor of those who have need) in order to get to fewer than 3,000 tuition-paying students.[/quote]

Does the law say fewer than 3000 tuition paying students or fewer than 3000 tuition paying undergraduates?  If it is the former, Dartmouth could never do this - they have a med school, law school, etc, none of which Princeton has.  So Dartmount probably has >>10k students.  Princeton has almost exclusively PhDs which don't pay tuition. [/quote]
