Rather than taking on faith marketing position of schools regarding need blindness and rather than potentially remaining unaware of schools that are very close to need blind, you could inquire with schools you are interested in to find out things like the following:

What percentage of students are on FA?

What is the average FA award for those students?

What percentage of accepted FA student applicants receive a FA offer that fully meets their demonstrated need?

What percentage of FA students have their demonstrated need fully met?

This could give you insight into the various shades of need blindness. For example, some schools might turn out to be very nearly need blind on admission and very nearly meeting all demonstrated need, but won’t claim it because it isn’t 100% the case.
