<p>The Common Data Set files have a wealth of relevant information.
Google for [school name] + “Common Data Set”. See section H for financial aid details. I’d look for expensive private schools that do NOT cover 100% of determined need, and where less than half of students even apply for need-based aid. </p>
<p>Another place to look is the college matriculation lists of elite boarding schools.
Examples:

Schools on these lists that might be considered “rich kids’ schools” include:</p>
<p>NYU
BU
Wesleyan
GW
CMU
Connecticut College
Colorado College
Reed
Colgate
Sewanee
Whitman
Kenyon
Sarah Lawrence</p>
<p>These are expensive colleges that are NOT need-blind, full-need schools.
Many are selective liberal arts colleges that do not offer pre-professional majors (in business, nursing, engineering, etc.) Of course (as other comments have suggested) some of the most selective schools that are need-blind full-need colleges also do enroll many “rich kids”. Presumably, most of the students from more modest backgrounds who choose these colleges would not be too averse to mingling with their more affluent classmates.</p>
