What top Schools are NOT need-blind?

Transfer Students
1

<p>The only school that I know is not need-blind is brown, meaning that people who can pay full tuition have an advantage. Anyone else know of a top 40 school per-say that is not need-blind?</p>

2

<p>pretty sure northeastern is</p>

3

<p>Top 40? Many!</p>

4

<p>Brown University is the only Ivy league school to be need-aware for transfers.</p>

<p>I would also check UCLA and UC Berkeley.</p>

5

<p>Need blind and meet need are different things. I’m guessing the OP is looking for schools that meet need. No UC does.</p>

<p>I believe the OP is asking about need-aware (not need blind), not schools that meet 100% of need.</p>

<p>So… are there any other top schools that put an advantage over you if you don’t apply for financial aid??</p>

8

<p>@YeastDNA: UCLA and UC Berkeley are need-blind.</p>

9

<p>Does not applying for financial aid actually make a significant difference at Brown? Does anyone have statistics or experiences that might help answer this question?</p>

10

<p>I don’t have statistics, but I’m pretty sure Brown’s need-based policy does give applicants who opt out of financial aid a greater chance of getting in.</p>

<p>I didn’t apply for fin aid at Brown and was accepted. </p>

<p>Brown '12</p>

<p>akunamatatta,</p>

<p>Would you mind posting your stats? Also did you apply as a sophomore or junior and for spring or for the fall? Congrats on getting in!</p>
