<p>Need blind - will determine your financial aid depending totally on your need for it, and they’ll give you as much as you need if you’re admitted. I believe this also means that financial aid isn’t a factor in your admittance.</p>
<p>Need aware - the school is aware of your financial need in determing financial aid, but they don’t have the endowment capabilities to provide everyone who is applying for financial aid with as much money as they need. I think this also means that financial aid could factor into a decision.</p>
<p>But make sure to check with people about that last point.</p>
