Financial Aid @ boarding schools

<p>Hey everyone, I was accepted to two schools with very large endowments (200 Mill+). I was accepted but put on financial aid "waitlist." I was wondering if I will actually receive aid or if I will not? Both schools really want me to come, and I just want to know if people get off of the "waitlist" or not? Has anyone ever been taken off of the waitlist and been given a decent amount of money, thanks!!!!!!!</p>

<p>What my friend was told when her D was on the financial aid waitlist for some boarding schools was that she would get a spot when the aid opened up. If a student offered aid should decide not to come, then the aid would be offered to someone on the FA wait list. I know of two people who did clear those waitlists and they did both get their needed aid.</p>
