I dont think need blind schools flip back to page 1 and think “this kid can’t pay” or “this kid can pay.” That’s a conscious decision to factor ability to pay. It’s very easy to avoid doing that. Implicit bias (and indirect advantages) are the hard part.

This is coming from a friend who was in admissions at a top 20 and now works in for hire admissions consulting.
