<p>Do most colleges truly adhere to this policy or do some actually favor kids who check "no" to the question of whether financial aid is being applied for ?</p>
<p>There are very few schools that are need blind, and at those money sort of doesn't matter. It does help if you're very wealthy. At all the rest, 97% of American colleges, money matters.</p>
<p>Which are these "very few" schools? On wikipedia I found a list of 25 colleges that are needs-blind and meet full need. Is that really all? There must be more, right? (I HOPE so!)</p>
<p>That's all folks! And don't forget, loans meet need.</p>
