Do college acceptances correlate to one's ability to pay full fare?

[Sue22]

If a school does not specifically state that it’s need blind you have to assume it’s at least partially need aware. If you do a search for “need blind” on Wesleyan’s website a dozen links pop up, including the aforementioned President’s FAQ page, student newspaper stories from when they switched the policy, extensive links to the school’s 2012 need blind policy focus group, the school’s strategic plan and updates, and an accreditation report which states,

Wesleyan remains committed to meeting the full financial need of admitted students without increasing required student indebtedness. The Admission Office will have to consider the capacity of some students to pay, as is done now with transfer and international students. Current estimates are that about 90% of each class (depending on the level of need) will continue to be admitted on a need-blind basis. Wesleyan expects to build a more generous and sustainable financial aid program over time by raising more funds for the endowment.

The 2014 update to the strategic plan indicates they were meeting this 90% mark.
