I know many hard - working FinAid officers who try to balance the need of the student with the need of the school . Putting together a program that is attractive enough without giving it all away is a challenge . The problem is the image colleges have created that the admissions and financial aid system is mechanical and " blind " . That only the " best " get in when in reality it is the " best " of what kind of student they need .

Question: What may happen before a FinAid officer decided on financial aid for students ?
Answer: They gave away financial aid to students ' needs .They looked for a pool of students that fit the college 's needs .They built an attractive program to challenge students to apply .None of the above choices .
