<p>Are these need-blind even for legal residents?
I am thinking about using fee waivers for my application and wonder if they are need blind.
Thank you in advance for any inputs.</p>

<p>anybody please?</p>
<p>Here is a list of need blind schools that are members of the 568 Group. This is not to say that any of the schools you have listed above that are not on the list below are not need blind, rather they just are not be a member of this particular group.

<p>Both Yale and Harvard are need blind and are also committed to meeting 4 years demonstrated need. Your FA app and use of a waiver won’t negatively affect your chances.</p>
<p>If a college offers fee waivers, does that mean they are very likely to be need-blind? I don’t know if I should use fee waivers for some of the colleges or not.</p>
<p>No, the only thing a fee waivers means that you meet the state/federal guidelines to have your application fee waived (indicating that you are indeed low income).</p>
<p>Keep in mind that there may be many schools that are need blind to U.S. citizens and permanent residents, but of the over 3500 colleges in the country, very few are both need blind and meet 100% demonstrated need withreduced no-loans (yes, loans are considered FA)</p>
<p>Thanks, I was only uncertain if fee waivers would affect my chance. I don’t mind taking out loans if accepted to some of those colleges.</p>
