<p>Remember: Questions –> WUSTL 2014 - College Confidential</p>
<p>I started some hopefuly helpful threads over there.</p>
<p>Please feel free to PM me with any more questions.</p>
<p>My S got in but no $ other than loan assistance. I wondered how common this is that no help is offered? Obviously not totally a surprise based on income/assets but thought they may give some additional incentive even if real minor. Is any merit $ or tuition reduction possible at this point? Knowing that May 1 will be here soon, I just wondered what the chances of anything changing here or is it a take it or leave it deal at this point? At this time, just trying to compare the alternatives (state school with aid). My S really wants to go to Wash U but it’s a tough call at this point and will require a lot more loan help than we initially thought. Thanks for any insight.</p>
<p>My son was offered $10,700 a year (in addition to loans), which was a big surprise. slamjammer, it can’t hurt to call and ask if your son can get some money!</p>
<p>So now to the real question…how far can my grades fall this semester? ^.^</p>
<p>@slamjammer: FA stats for Wash U are available at various web sites. Here’s one:
[Washington</a> U. - Cost & Financial Aid](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)</p>
<p>The site suggests that about 38% of freshmen are deemed to need financial aid. The other 62% do not need aid in the eyes of WashU or did not apply for aid.</p>
<p>My guess is that if your EFC is $50,000 or above, you will get no offer of aid. </p>
<p>Anyways you wondered how common it is to not get aid. It is about 62% common.</p>
<p>I’m curious to know how exclusive this is. I applied and was accepted to Olin and I received an email yesterday that said:</p>
<p>It is my pleasure to invite you and your parents to a Dean’s Reception, which will be held at my home from 4-6 p.m. on Saturday, April 17, 2010. Several of our faculty, staff and current students will be on hand to welcome you. Olin will pay for each student’s round-trip airfare to visit our campus for the Dean’s Reception.</p>
<p>Any body else get this?</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing, Feliz.
It might be useful for students who are comparing two institutions. It was helpful when I was deciding between UC Berkeley, WashU, and Cornell.</p>

<p>Okay forgot if I told this thread, </p>
<p>but if you want to get an insider’s look at WashU</p>
<p>go to Facebook and look for the “WashU Bear Buddies 2009-2010” **Group. **</p>
<p>You’ll have to request to join only because it contains a list of WashU students with their majors, extracurricular involvements, and the interior of the dorms/ their rooms. These students are volunteers who would love to help answer your questions. </p>
<p>Fellow CCer jemarcus started the group. It is a wonderful resource for you prospective freshmen, so don’t miss out on this chance to learn more about this great university!</p>
<p>P.S. I’m a volunteer also. Not paid to do this.
PPS. Totally love WashU.</p>
