<p>I'm just wondering, do the two work together when deciding upon an applicant</p>
<p>(in a need-blind school)</p>
<p>do they discuss applicants</p>
<p>Need blind means they don’t. If a school doesn’t state need-blind, anything goes. VERY few schools are need-blind for admissions decisions.</p>
<p>What’s your concern? Are you applying to some need-blind schools and you’re wondering if they’ll hold it against you if you do indeed apply FA?</p>
<p>i’m more concerned if they decide to change their minds if i needed too much money</p>
<p>Like I said, the few colleges that are need blind are few in number because so few exist that have the deep riches that allow them to be so bold as to hold such a policy. Their pride and prestige is in part, based on their need-blind status. I’ve heard of no college that’s had to reverse this recently. The freshman class at Yale has 59.4% receiving FA. And that’s a $50K pricetag.</p>
<p>There are better things to be worried about. Second guessing a handful of colleges’ fidelity to their need blind admission policies isn’t one of them.</p>
<p>Are you an int’l student?</p>
<p>Also…if you’re a US resident, sometimes a “need blind” school can kind of “guess” that an applicant will have a lot of need based on their high school’s location or by the applicants street address.</p>
<p>However, anyone who needs a lot of FA, should always have a couple of safety schools on his list.</p>
<p>What are your financial safety schools?</p>
<p>What is your family’s EFC and can they pay it?</p>
<p>
Do you have any examples of schools that do this or links to support your statement?</p>
<p>If a school states that they are need-blind then they will not consider your financial need in the admissions process. However, it does not mean that they will “give” you enough money to attend. Even schools that state they “Meet 100% of demonstrated need” may not “give” you enough to attend because THEY, not you, decide how much you “need.”</p>
