<p>Wow Bluebayou, you beat me to it. Just about to post. Received "Breaking News" from Speaking of Dartmouth.</p>

<p>The main difference is the Need-blind for international students as well as Junior leave term with no earning expectation.</p>

<p>For the middle class families, we will have to see if the packages will be as good as those mentioned by Harvard and Yale.</p>

<p>Replacing loans with scholarships saves about at least $19k (the new Stafford limits) over four years....</p>

<p>What I am guessing is for families that are making $75k or less, if their EFC is greater than the cost of room and board, they will probably have to pay room and board out of pocket as the tuition will be free (this is still not a bad deal for middle class families).</p>

<p>As a great admirer of Dartmouth, I'm really impressed with this new finaid policy. It really shouldn't be surprising though since the day before they announced that they had hit 1,000,000,000 dollars in alumni contributions. (wow thats a lot of zeros)</p>

<p>go D!</p>
