@allyphoe That’s an interesting insight about the need-blind policy. “We know your need, but we don’t consider it.” It makes need-blind seem like more of a marketing term than anything else. Kind of like “all-natural” or “healthy” in food advertising. A product can make a claim without any oversight or proof.
Perhaps this is a case of “let the buyer beware?!?”
Also, I like what you had to add about domestic applicants’ preference for “meets full need” over “need-blind.”
