Does washU not have need based financial aid at all?

<p>I hope not.. I just got my acceptance + financial packet and it gave me million different ways to borrow money from them, but nothing else.</p>

<p>Loan or paying at the moment, there is no way my family can afford it, so hopefully there are more packets coming.</p>

<p>my suggestion is to call and talk to someone about it. from what i've seen, it's hard to get more than just a loan, but it can't hurt to try. When I was admitted they gave me almost nothing, so I called and told them what Northwestern had given me... they didn't match it, but at least then I got something.</p>

<p>Does the financial aid package come separately....I didn't get anything in my acceptance letter.</p>

<p>Yup, comes separately. Why other than to drive us parents nuts, don't know.</p>
