<p>True, not less attractive, just harder to get into for some.</p>
<p>True, but for a small portion (those on the cusp), and it’s completely unpredictable, so there’s no good reason for an applicant to resist applying to need-aware schools. Applying to full-need schools can be very important!</p>
<p>Holy Cross is also need blind for admissions.</p>
<p>Ok! woahh it’s been awhile since I posted back! Sorry! School has been trying to drown me and APs are coming fast 
Anyway:</p>
<p>BrownParent: Yah I like a sense of community in a college so Grinnell is still a consideration for me, I’ve also been looking into Oberlin. I’m from California btw and hmm I’ve stopped considering Mt. Holyoke and Wellesley is now on the list x) I’m also trying to absorb all of the financial info you gave me since I really don’t know too much about that…so now is a good time to learn!</p>
<p>Geneseograd: Looked into it! Thanks 
It didn’t grab at my attention right away but I’ll do some more research on it.</p>
<p>par72: I looked into it :]</p>
<p>Oh! so I figured out I want to end up in a college/uni with a strong science and art program since I love both and hopefully will find a way to combine them…
Here’s my list of places I’m probably going to apply to:
Harvey Mudd, Oberlin, Wellesley, USC, Carnegie Mellon, Grinnell</p>
<p>I threw some big universities in there just in case I find myself wanting to go to a school with a wide scope of programs instead, since some LAC can be restricting. They’re both reach though…I’m also going to need to pick a school I’m fairly sure I can get into, I feel all the ones I listed are uncertain :/</p>
