Are colleges really "need-blind"?

It does seem incongruent to say a school is need blind but to ask the Fa question on the app at all.



Most schools use the CA, which provides for the needs of both need-blind and need-aware schools, thus the FA box.

I’m not saying tht need blind schools don’t use factors on the application to assess likely need, just that the fact that there’s a check box on the CA does not in itself mean that FA is taken into account at need blind schools.
