And for the most part, it doesn’t matter because most schools can’t award full need anyway.

And “meet full need” can be an empty promise if the college’s definition of “need” is significantly different from what you think you need.

For me the surprise on the list was Carleton. It’s so much more expensive than St. Olaf. Not only does St. Olaf start off less expensive, they also offer merit aid. And they do all this while also meeting full need just like Carleton.

But do St. Olaf and Carleton have similar definitions of “need”?
