<p>Thanks Bonnie…you interpreted my original post correctly. I don’t mean a school has to be a “top 10” in order to be a “top school”</p>
<p>Yes, my nephew wants a top school, but he knows top 10 is not likely and that they are usually “need blind.” He’s not applying to any 10 ten “National Universities,” My question is really for National Universities ranked about 11 thru 30…“Masters” universities ranked in the top 5 for their region…and LACs ranked in the top 20…and so forth </p>
<p>You totally understand my original post…your example captures our concern…or even when the stats are equal…Where will a “full-pay” have an advantage?? </p>
<p>I realize some may have find it distainful that some colleges might give an advantage to those who can pay…In a democratic nation that may seem “unfair.” </p>
<p>Does anyone know if Davidson is “need aware”?</p>
