<p>Is Gtown need blind? I heard somewhere that WashU is not need blind and the only schools i know that have a policy that highlights that are the ivies. I was just thinking lately that in such a competitive applicant "market" so to speak, it would be in schools' best interests to admit people who could pay full tuition over people who need a lot of aid.</p>
<p>Georgetown does have need blind admissions.
WashU most likely does as well; most universities have need blind admissions.</p>
<p>iloveapples, I hope you never read any applications in your lifetime or be an admissions counselor with power. The thought of having non-need blind admissions will shut out opportunities for a lot of people. Even those making lower six figures income are having trouble coming up with moeny to pay for their child's education (in higher ed).</p>
<p>I didn't mean that I would do such a thing. In fact, I think it's absolutely awful if a school doesn't have need-blind admissions. And I'd probably be one of those people who they would shut out if that were true. </p>
<p>I was just commenting on the fact that I read someplace that WashU was not need-blind. I wanted to make sure that I had misread something or that my sources were wrong; in particular, I wanted to make sure Georgetown doesn't do that.</p>
<p>iloveapples: I apologize for making hasty conclusions.</p>
<p>When you say WashU, you do be Washington Univ. in St. Louis, correct?
WUSTL is need-blind in terms of admissions.</p>
<p>Georgetown is too.</p>
<p>Iloveapples was right in his first post. Non need blind admissions would be to the SCHOOLS benefit, but not to the students. If a student can pay full tuition ceteris paribus compared to another student who needs a lot of aid, the school would be better off accepting the rich one. Note: THE SCHOOL</p>
<p>Well certainly, non-need blind admissions benefits the school when two students with the same stats and abilities come through.</p>
<p>But remember, federal funding is there as well, not just the school's money (though it does not cover the total expenses).</p>
