<p>To be honest, the fact that a school is “need-blind” does not comfort me. They SAY they’re need-blind. But who knows what really goes on behind closed doors? Colleges are businesses, after all.</p>
<p>Freaking out cuz I listed my schools by preference because I was ignorant. ._.</p>
<p>I agree that this is getting too many folks too upset. Trying to figure out a way to best do the strategy in order is a loser’s game. In all the years I’ve seen kids fill out the FAFSA and PROFILE (yes, they can see your other schools there too), I’ve yet to see any connections. </p>
<p>As worrying about “need blind”, if you need the fin aid, there is nothing you can do. No way to tel if a school is truly need blind or not. it’s something one worries about with no recourse.</p>
