<p>"FYI: WashU is need-blind for about 90% of the class it accepts, it just isn’t need blind for the last 10% because they need to make sure they don’t run out of scholarship money. "

<p>its need-blind for 90 percent of the class it ACCEPTS, which means that WashU is RELUCTANT TO ACCEPT kids who require lots of financial aid…WASHU is not NEED-BLIND when its REVIEWING APPLICATIONS, if you require massive amounts of Financial Aid it could work agaisnt you, meaning that you have a lower chance of being accepted.</p>
