<p>Hmm it's strange middlebury doesn't talk about its needblind policy on its website coz most needblind unis would advertise it to draw more intel apps... but it's generally acknowledged that middlebury is - or claims to be, needblind, along with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT and Williams. Whether they really are needblind, we will never know. Haha maybe that Amherst article is insinuating that MIT isn't really needblind? Hmm but I think it is, I have a couple of really outstanding friends who got in though they applied aid, and hell lot others who didn't apply aid got rejected.</p>
