<p>Sigh…MHC is need-blind for the majority of applicants. Need-aware becomes a factor only when considering “those students who fall at the margin of the admitted applicant pool”
Because MHC isn’t entirely need-blind, they can’t claim to be so. </p>

What does it mean that Mount Holyoke College is “need-aware” or “need-sensitive”?
Need-aware, also known as need-sensitive, is a policy in which students’ financial resources are considered along with other traditional admission measures in making decisions. Mount Holyoke College employs this policy only for those students who fall at the margin of the admitted applicant pool. Because there are occasions when the level of required institutional support must be considered, students must indicate their intention of applying for financial aid at the time they submit the Admission application.
