There are people (intelligent people, with college degrees and professional jobs) who don’t believe that babies and children can die of measles, or that an oral contraceptive is statistically more effective than taking a woman’s temperature and proceeding accordingly. These seem to be more serious overall than whether someone “believes” that a need blind college is in fact- need blind.
You don’t believe that they are need blind? Fine, go ye forth. I am happy to provide you with a list of hundreds of colleges where it truly doesn’t matter- y’know why? Because you aren’t getting your need met ANYWAY since the colleges don’t have enough money to fund your need (and they say so up front).
You just can’t control for what people trust and believe anymore. I have a neighbor- young mom- who thinks everyone was healthier “back in the 1880’s” before people poisoned themselves with vaccines and antibiotics.(and sanitation). I’ve pointed out that since the average life span was about 50 years old and MANY women died in childbirth, and many more babies died in infancy, calculating the relative health of those who survived is a spurious exercise at best.
But folks gonna believe what they believe.
