It's not an "official" entry year--spots are available only by attrition--but more kids leave at 9th than at most other years so more spots open up (of course, lots more kids also are applying, so I'm not sure 9th is an easier admit than 8th or 10th, e.g., it probably varies from year to year).

I’m not sure how a school can be truly need blind when one of the questions on the main application form is “will you be applying for financial aid?”. It is right there on the second page of the application.

This is not true. Admissions are not need blind at all schools. Do your research.

Same. Also not ideal/considerate that they seemingly staggered the rollout of their decisions.
