melanieeek,

You are idealizing for WashU and I think you are confused. The need-blind schools look at all those things (including socio-economic status) you mentioned; the only difference is ability to pay is not a factor for admission. If “WashU doesn’t exclude students who can’t pay to go here” like you said, then it’s need-blind.

ST2,
I am not against merit based scholarships as long as it not done at the expense of need-blind admission. In fact, I fully support what Duke is doing. I would love to see Northwestern give merit-based ones provided that it stays commited to need-blind admission.

CopterMom,
I am not that old. ;)
