<p>Hi:)
I am an intenrational student from Asia
I know that on WUSTL's website it says we can apply for the scholarships
However, if I don't apply for those
will WUSTL still consider its applicants for other merit based aid?
or does everyone have to apply to receive aid?</p>
<p>How compeitive are the scholarship applications?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I have same questions. bump.</p>
<p>All merit-based aid, except maybe for those few rare ones for sports (of which I have heard of but have not confirmed), require a separate application. WashU may still give you aid if you apply for financial aid. You have to apply for the merit-based aid to receive them. They are often very competitive as only a few percentage of the people accepted receive those. However, that should not dissuade you from applying, as they are often a strong indicator of interest, and if you get one, no matter how small or large, you will receive a letter from WashU two weeks earlier than the actual date of acceptance telling you that you received the scholarship (which is also an automatic acceptance to WashU).</p>
<p>but if I applied for financial aid, that will lower my chances of admission right?
but scholarships, like Lien or AR, are all limited to around 15 people, that can be really competitive…</p>
<p>What’s the point of getting in if you can’t pay for it? Apply for financial aid as well as the merit-based scholarships.</p>
<p>I am an international student who has no clue about college applications. I applied to WUSTL for Fall, 2011 and got into the wait-list. WUSTL asks to submit a separate application for scholarships by the deadline Jan 15. Honestly, all other colleges that I applied didn’t require applications for scholarships so I did not know that I have to submit a scholarship application to WUSTL. And on that Jan 15, it was absolutely rush hour for me because it was the same date with my IELTS exam. Just now when I learnt I’m in the wait-list, I found out that it was necessary to submit applications for scholarships! I just don’t know what to do! If anyone has the scholarship application form for engineering scholarships from WUSTL, plz share!!!
Icyquiz is online now</p>
<p>i applied for both financial aid and merit scholarships. Although i did not get the scholarships i still got into the school.</p>

<p>The application for all of the merit scholarships has closed, and finalists have already been notified. There really isn’t too much you can do at this point.</p>
