<p>Has someone compiled such a list? By definition, I'd take their words for it - that is, if they say they are need-blind, let's believe they are.</p>
<p>Public universities are need-blind. With privates it can vary.</p>
<p>Anyway, just for the sake of clarity – need-blind means they don’t take you financial need into consideration when making admissions decisions. It does not mean they promise to meet your need with financial aid.</p>
<p>Are you looking merely for “need-blind” or are you also interested in schools that are need blind but ALSO promise to meet your full need?</p>
<p>I guess I’m looking for private colleges w need-blind admission?</p>
<p>With 814 posts this should be a no brainer. if you’re just looking for those that admit need blind, well, that’s most. It’s the NYUs of the college world that accept scores of kids who can’t afford it. Those don’t do much good for most who need schools that meet 100% of need. That list has been posted again and again here, but are on the whole the top colleges very few can get into.</p>
<p>Yes, like Redroses says, most schools are need-blind in admissions.</p>
<p>Here’s a wikipedia link with some helpful information. Always, though, check the financial aid pages on a college’s own website to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. The list helps, but I’ve heard that schools like Penn and MIT are much more “stingier” than HY, whch is understandable, but being on the list means they’d at least meet the financial need as estimated by FAFSA? How otherwise is 100% of need being met determined?</p>
<p>Schools that are need-blind AND meet 100% of determined need usually require more than FAFSA…often they require CSS Profile as well (and many require info from any Non custodial parents).</p>
<p>What is your exact situation so we can point you in the right direction?</p>
<p>What is your likely EFC?</p>

<p>Do both the federal method and institutional. Many privates use the both methods. If there is a non-custodial parent, then their income (and step-parent incomes) might also be included at some schools.</p>
<p>What are your stats (include SAT breakdown)? </p>
<p>What is your likely major and career?</p>
<p>How much will your family contribute?</p>
<p>Thanks, mom2collegekids. Just sent you a PM.</p>
