Should I even apply, and if so, to what schools?(I have no idea what I'm doing please help)

  1. Need-blind schools may constitute a limited, heterogeneous group that will not be evenly desirable for you.
  2. Need-blind schools may present additional *difficulty* with respect to admissions because of their popularity related to this designation.
  3. The pursuit of need blind schools may distract you from pursuing need-aware schools that may be better suited to your background and interests.
  4. Dozens of need-aware schools for which you are suitably matched will offer you a reasonable chance of acceptance, and excellent financial assistance upon this acceptance.
