<p>“many of the schools that meet full need tend to have the higher endowment/student”</p>
<p>Using the high endowment criterion can miss schools that meet full need with a lower endowment (they’re likely need-aware, also irrelevant to applicants).</p>

<p>Full Need legitimately means only Federal loans, usually somewhere around 10% of COA. Anyone who sees a school claim Full Need but packages more than Federal loans should point it out to the rest of us!</p>
