<p>i mean too all?
in-state out-state and international? all?</p>
<p>Yes, it is.</p>
<p>well i don't think it's completely need-blind to international kids, but it's very close if that makes sense</p>
<p>what do you mean by "close"?? somewhere between need-blind and need-base?? I'm happy enough if it wasn't worse than need-based...</p>
<p>Call or email the admissions office and ask them. Tell us what they say.</p>
<p>from their website:</p>

Middlebury is need-blind, so financial need has no bearing upon the admissions decision. All transfer students, including international candidates, will be considered for financial aid based on demonstrated need

<p>This doesn't mean that the competition for a limited number of international slots from a large # of international applicants isn't intense, of course.</p>
<p>middlebury is COMPLETELY need blind for ALL its students.</p>
<p>"There are only 26 totally "need blind" colleges or universities in the US."</p>
<p>There are actually NO "need blind" colleges in the country (except the military academies perhaps, and maybe Cooper Union and Olin). The only question is the extent to which they use need in making admissions decisions. For example, no college could make a commitment to increasing the percentage of students who are low-income if they were blind to their need. The flip side is that it is extremely, extremely unlikely that a college could maintain virtually exactly the same percentage of full-freighters year after year after year without knowing their (lack of) need status in advance. </p>
<p>Now do they need to know the need status of individual candidates? In the first case, probably yes. In the second case, probably no (they can figure that out from zip codes, etc.)'</p>
