<p>Plus…the OP is confusing terms. </p>
<p>Need blind is an admissions term. This means that the college does NOT consider financial need when reviewing application for admission. It has no bearing on financial aid awards.</p>
<p>Meets full need- this means that a school guarantees to meet full need (as the school calculates it to be) for all accepted students. This is a financial aid term.</p>
<p>There are only six colleges in the U.S. that are BOTH need blind for admissions and guarantee to meet full need for international students. Not all the Ivies even do that.</p>
<p>With an annual income of $180,000 and $250,000 in regular savings, this student would very likely NOT be eligible for need based aid…because he would have no calculated financial need.</p>
