<p>Are transfers at a disadvantage when it comes to FA? Are transfer applicants not need-blind? Or is FA for a transfer typically the same as it would be apply as a freshman?</p>
<p>depends on the school, they can handle it differently. Look up the policy for the schools you are interested in</p>
<p>Yes, it is very much up to the school. In general, financial aid is not as generous for transfers as it is for freshmen. Also many schools that guarantee to meet full need or are need blind, have those policies for freshmen.</p>
