Need Blind Admissions

Grinnell College recently announced that they would continue to be need-blind in the admissions process, meaning that they will not consider a student's ability to pay when making an admissions decision.  I recall that several years ago Tufts University was need-blind until they got toward the end of their decisions, and then a family's ability to pay was considered.

If you are applying for financial aid, this is a great question to ask of every college you visit: are they need-blind or need-aware?
