<p>Colleges either claim to meet 100% of need or not. Of course how they define need is theirs to decide Most families believe their need is greater than colleges believe it is.</p>

<p>By and large, the colleges that meet need are top colleges, ivies, their peers and top LACs with big endowments. College Board can tell you which they are.</p>

"UVa and UNC claim to meet full need and they did,</p>

<p>since another poster said that ‘need’ varies by college what was your need that was taken care of in your case?</p>

<p>I thought need was simply COA-EFC.</p>

<p>It would be helpful if colleges can spell this stuff out clearly and transparently.</p>
