Waitlist and finanical aid?

<p>So I was waitlisted at Rice last month and I am wondering if waitlistees can see their fin aid package as well. I was waitlisted at CMU and they sent me my fin aid package, which I thought was a bit odd</p>

<p>Anyway, Rice was my first choice school and on the off chance that I somehow get off the waitlist, I'm nervous I won't be able to attend because of costs and stuff. I've heard merit aid isn't available to waitlisted students and I know I am not going to get much need-based aid..</p>

<p>Wow, that’s nice of CMU.</p>
