UCs Need-Blind?

<p>i like to hear my claims from verified sources. Not here say that some random internet person claims to speak about the truth. I have no idea who this guy is, and he/she has no idea how truthful the information is. Or they could have misheard the information/the person who works on admissions could have misstated him/herself. There are many possibilities, but without verifiable support, the argument remains weak.</p>

<p>It’s not like it really matters. Anyone who chooses not to apply just because they’re afraid of losing their spot to an OOS student is just strange anyhow.</p>

<p>All “need blind” means is that your need will not affect your admission. Or, to put it another way, you will not be denied admission simply because you cannot pay. The UCs do admit more students than they can actually handle in speculation that not all will (or even be able to) accept the offer of admission.</p>

<p>I know several cases of students (that I know personally and are not “friends of friends”) being admitted who could not afford to attend. One of these was an out of state student who was admitted to UCLA. He had planned to accept his offer of admission to UCSC instead of UCLA, but neither campus offered a financial aid package that would allow him to afford to attend either campus (even with significant loans).</p>

<p>Admissions and financial aid are two separate departments. The only reason for out of state students to be singled out is simply because in theory they have to pay more and, as I posted previously, UCB openly admitted that they were opening up more spots specifically for out of state students.</p>
