Washington and Lee University to Adopt Need-Blind Admissions

That story is making the rounds on campus, every time I go onto Instagram its one of my classmates reposting that onto their story (I do not deny that I was doing it as well).

It’ll be interesting to see what impact it’ll have on application numbers or any admission statistics for that matter. To be frank, when I applied to W&L I hadn’t even considered that W&L was need aware - the concept of them being need-aware was rarely mentioned (if at all) throughout my interactions with them. Im unaware if that was deliberate or not, but its something interesting to note.
