<p>this post is pretty self explanatory--and im sorry if its already been asked--i've searched a little but haven't seen anything about it</p>
<p>I believe waitlisted students get financial aid packages if/when they are admitted.</p>
<p>From Matt's waitlist</a> post:

If I'm admitted off of the waitlist, do I have to go to MIT? What about financial aid?</p>
<p>You're not required to enroll. We'll give you a financial aid package and you'll have time to consider your decision before letting us know one way or the other.

I interpret that to mean that you'd get a financial aid package if selected from the waitlist, although I guess it is somewhat ambiguous.</p>
