Is Connecticut College need-blind?

I heard someone from admissions at Connecticut College on a podcast explaining that they are need aware to the extent that when it comes down to the last decisions they have to make, they make sure they won’t go over their financial aid budget if they meet full need for everyone. She said that they feel it is better to have a few admissions decisions affected in order to not offer acceptance to anyone who won’t get their need met and not be able to attend…

So in most cases, need won’t matter, but for some people on the borderline it could be a factor. I’d agree that if you want to go there it’s worth applying.
