That’s one way to stay “need-blind,” coupled with filling your class with ED applicants.


Is the school need blind or need-aware?
Given financial issues, aware??


What financial issues?

Especially valedictorians. My niece was accepted ED from a small MD private. Midd has one of the highest percentages of valedictorians, apparently.

Or just how it shook out and they haven’t liked the candidates? Or maybe lack of hooked applicants?


Are those definitely ED applications? I didn't think they differentiated between RD and ED on that Naviance.


They do differentiate in Naviance, at least at our MCPS high school.

1430 and 3.6 last year- an athlete

Still need blind.

And as PP said, in name only. The school is white as bread and filled with trust fund ski bros (and “bras”).
