Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing?

thank you for all of your insight!
just more musing:

To me, it seems all that “need-blind” implies is that the admissions office doesn’t / can’t know which applicants are applying for financial aid… but not necessarily the other way around.

In fact, it seems like it would be critical for the efficiency FA department to know who (and who not) to put together packages for…

If the Admissions Office emailed the FA Office with a list of all admitted applicants, then that would still preserve the “need-blind” status of those who needed FA, while expediting the work of the FA Office.

ehh idk.
