<p>im interested in trying for vassar early decision. now they say that they are not need blind. </p>
<p>does that mean a student with excellent credentials will be admitted but not given financial aid OR a student with okay credentials will be admitted who doesnt need fin aid in the first place.. i guess my main question is, if you need financial aid, will you just not get it but be accepted or rejected right out?</p>
<p>Ehh, this is the transfer board - no such thing as ED for transfers, do you mean spring admission?</p>
<p>ehh sorry i meant im trying for transfer decisions..</p>
<p>need aware does not imply a lowering of admissions standards in favor of people who don't need aid - it means that when judging two students who both have 'excellent credentials,' the one which does not demonstrate financial aid will be preferred over the one which does. i don't like this need aware business at all - i'd rather they accept people regularly and not give aid - then atleast i could attend the school and search for other means of financial aid like outside scholarships, etc.</p>
<p>i agree. </p>
<p>thanks, btw</p>
