<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Does Haverford meet 100% need and also will they give me a decision even if they don't have all my fin. materials by the time decisions time comes around...because I really don't want to send 2005 stuff until I'm accepted. thanks</p>
<p>considering decisions have already been made and they're probably licking the envelopes right now, i don't think you have a choice...</p>
<p>they sent me a letter like 2 days ago asking for my 2005 tax retuns....does that mean I got in?</p>
<p>HC practices "need-blind" admissions so financial documents don't come into the decision process. "100%" met is a relative term. You can have 2 families in the same financial situation, and one family can have parents and kids who feel that any financial investment in college is good and not think twice about tuition while another family with the exact same resources may have a different perspective about the cost/benefit of attending a pricey college. If both families are asked to provide $20,000 a year... you will probably get 2 different answers about having "needs met". </p>
<p>Despite HC relatively small endowment, it strives and does a pretty good job with financial aid. In terms of Pell grant recipients... (US News)</p>
