student with NO need of financial aid, disadvantage at "blind" schools?

<p>I have an american citizenship but i'm from israel (international). do "blind" schools like harvard honestly not look if an applicant needs financial aid or not? I thought it would be an advantage, not needing it.</p>

<p>Yes, they honestly don't look; they don't need to. It is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage at need-blind schools.</p>
