<p>i missed the deadline to financial aid and im planning to write the Brown admissions office that i dont need financial aid anymore (i initially said that i do). will this hurt my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>It shouldn't, considering Brown is need-blind.</p>
<p>lol. Why are you worrying.</p>
<p>Use it as an opportunity to tell them how much you want to go to Brown.</p>
<p>brown isn't need-blind.... as far as i know, anyway. am i correct?</p>
<p>They ARE need blind.</p>
<p>Yes, Brown is need-blind for all American incoming freshman (not for transfers or internationals yet, unfortunately).</p>
<p>can someone tell me what "need blind" really means? im pretty sure that you check off whether you are appying for financial aid on the app, so they must see.</p>
<p>Nope, the financial aid stuff is all separate. The people who are looking at your actual application (not just the basic information form) will not know whether or not you are applying for financial aid.</p>
