<p>90,000+ (10 char)</p>
<p>90,000 and above...</p>
<p>u should ask who doesn't need financial aid...well, i dont</p>
<p>Just wondering, if they say that they take your socioeconomic background into account when making decisions, would that make the school not "need-blind"?</p>
<p>i think for ED...no financial aid is better than financial aid?</p>
<p>not too sure.</p>
<p>90000 and above.</p>
<p>but my family is paying for my sister's college and my mom's law school loans.</p>
<p>90,000 + and I don't need financial aid ... but my dad likes to remind me of it every day. "I'm going to be shelling out $3456789 for your college education and you can't even ____!!!!?" Anyway I second that question of how does taking into consideration socio-econ status make them needs blind??</p>
<p>i agree these two are correlated, but here's my theory:</p>
<p>need-blind means if you can't pay, it doesn't hurt your chance of getting in; it's a it-doesn't-matter-if-you-have-the-money approach.</p>
<p>consideration of socio-econ status means they will judge your accomplishments while considering the opportunities you had, given your family income and whatnot. this is more of a what-did-you-do-with-what-you-had thing. </p>
<p>hope that made some sense...</p>

I think it's like that for ED and RD</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure they don't discriminate based on whether you applied for financial aid...that's what need-blind means.</p>
<p>yeah they can't discriminate based on an applicant's financial status.</p>
<p>I'm 90,000+, although on FASFA I'm under 20k.</p>
<p>Wait....</p>
<p>So are you guys saying that when the adcom makes decisions, they know how much income your family makes?</p>
<p>no, they're not at all like that.
admissions is need blind</p>
<p>No, they just know whether you applied for financial aid or not...I'm pretty sure</p>
<p>I hope they do. My parents don't make 90K+ per year. Not even close to that. They haven't been able to fork out money for karate lessons, SAT prep courses and what not. I have four younger siblings too. My dad is sick. He got two surgeries during the beginning of senior year and my grades dipped a little because of he pressure.
Money matters, a lot. Believe me...</p>
<p>Then how would they consider the socio-econ status meaning "they will judge your accomplishments while considering the opportunities you had, given your family income and whatnot"</p>
<p>Chiming in with something that everyone here knows already, international admissions are not need blind.</p>
<p>kthxbye</p>
