@saskatchewan: The admissions office at WashU seems to be pretty separate from the financial aid office despite WashU being need-aware. My impression was that Fin Aid doesn’t really make that info available (other schools listed on FAFSA).
@Madeon: please stop making up things. There are plenty of ED admits who get good aid and many who don’t, but you are making total generalizations. There are more than a few people I knew who were fully covered and applied ED.
