Public colleges and universities, need blind or need aware?

Many schools have rolling admission. FAFSA isn’t even available to be filed before the admission decision is made. Back in the dark ages (2014) my kids were both accepted long before 1/1/14, the date when you COULD file FAFSA.

Not just in the dark ages. S26 had acceptances to rolling admissions publics before we filed FAFSA. Many lesser-known publics accept all applicants meeting a certain academic threshold.
