<p>boho girl you’re really dedicated! or you have too much free time as you said? heheh but its amazing how you could dig out all the relevant articles.</p>
<p>I personally would look for an unequivocal statement by MIT. the part that bothers me is this:</p>
<p>MIT’s commitment to a need-blind admissions policy began in 1969, **which includes a commitment that all students admitted to MIT will have the financial support they need. **</p>
<p>the bolded portion still does not mean a need-blind policy for all applicants, just that all admitted students will have guaranteed financial support.</p>
<p>the sentence that follows is more encouraging though:</p>
<p>This makes it possible for the Institute to admit students based completely on merit without consideration of their ability to afford an MIT education.</p>
<p>I just wish they’d say “all students”. :P</p>
