Economic Crisis and Colleges

<p>No idea.</p>

<p>Wellesley College, like Vassar, is need blind, and states that it will offer 100% of student need. Through CC, I’ve met people who didn’t get enough finaid to go to Wellesley, but I’ve also met people who chose Wellesley because they received the best finaid far and away.</p>

<p>Since admissions and finaid decisions aren’t transparent, it is very possible that Wellelsey may not stick to the policies it publicly advocates behind closed doors, but that seems unlikely. Putting out some press release saying that Wellesley is still 100% committed to the new financial aid policies started for just this school year may also be possible.</p>

<p>At this time of year, most people are just determining where to apply. My two cents is this: a Wellesley application is free online.</p>
