<p>Guess I'm naive, but I also thought when a college says it is "need-blind" that they made their admissions decisions without knowledge of an applicant's financial situation. If it doesn't mean that, it's kind of meaningless, isn't it? Are they saying they know your financial status but will somehow disregard it when making decisions? Freud would have a field day with that kind of claim. On the other hand, how could they work on economic diversity if they don't know an applicant's $$ situation?</p>
