Are public universities need blind?

The only places where need-sensitive becomes an issue, is at places that do try to come up with decent aid packages for everyone that they admit, but that also aren’t rich enough to be able to do that for everyone they might like to admit.

… and also have not figured out how to target a given level of overall FA need for the admit class accurately enough by increasing or decreasing admissions weighting of correlated factors (e.g. legacy, first generation) without having to look at individual applicants’ FA need.
