Tufts Financial Aid - a repeat of last year?

Paying for College

<p>I'm really interested in Tufts University, and I'm applying as a prospective student this year. I was pretty disheartened by the whole financial aid debacle that occured last year, however (though debacle may be too harsh a word, given that the circumstance was out of university control) in which the university dropped its need-blind policy for the last 10% of applicants due to the financial crisis.</p>

<p>Maybe I'm just paranoid, but can it be assured that something like this won't happen again this year? Not just at Tufts necessarily, but at other universites as well?</p>

<p>Nothing is definite. Noone can assure you of that.</p>

<p>I believe that those colleges that have been need-blind by policy will continue to do so. Tufts was not need-blind by policy, but only in practice for the past xx years. Unfortunately, due to their financial condition, Tufts s had to revert to their need-aware, written policy.</p>
