Washu/WUSTL Students Fin Aid

Paying for College
1

<p>I am interested in Washington University in St.Louis and the only deterrent to going there is the high cost. I was just wondering if there are any former students or current students who could answer something for me. By my EFC my family should have no problem throwing thousands of dollars toward my education, but that is simply not the case. There are many things in my family that chip away from that 40,000 dollar EFC that is calculated. Other family members, parental health, bad economy, etc etc</p>

<p>Is there anyone out there that is going to Washu that has a similar EFC and if so what kind of need based aid did they give you. Also, do they take in account of things such as surgeries etc that family members had to go through and pay for.</p>

<p>I'd prefer Washu students, but I'm sure it is similar for most private universities so if you attend a private university such as Duke and have a similar situation as me could you help me out.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>That would not be a correct assumption since every school sets their own FA policies, admission goals, and has different endowments. You should post your question on the WashU forum as well.</p>
