<p>Is UIUC need blind for non-state citizens?</p>
<p>In determining admission they are need blind. However, be aware that in determining actual financial aid given, UIUC does not guarantee to meet 100% of need, seldom does, often meets only about 70% of need as determined by use of FAFSA and much of that is often loans not grants.</p>
<p>A school’s being need blind doesn’t affect its desirability, but rather only your chances of admission. As drusba says, meeting full need is more important.</p>
