<p>Does it hurt my chances if I apply for financial aid?</p>
<p>For the following colleges:
Dartmouth
Harvard
Yale
Duke
Northwestern << This one specifically does not specify if its Need-blind...?
U of Chicago
U Penn
Columbia
Cornell
Pomona
Brown</p>
<p>B.U.M.P
No really, are these colleges really need blind? Because I dont think I am getting $$ anyway, so should I just not apply then?</p>
<p>i don't know for sure. but any college that has a big endowement, like the colleges on ur list, are practically always need blind, just because they can.. and they want to attract people from all socioeconomic backgrounds, just for diversity's sake. so ur fine</p>
<p>Checking their website is useful. I think most of them are need-blind.</p>
<p>Not all universities are need-blind, including some of the top universities. Johns Hopkins and WUStL are not need-blind, for example. On your list, however, all of them are need-blind and promise to meet your need.</p>
