I hear WashU offers fin aid for only 1 year and the fin aid decreases after the froshie year. Is that true? Any WashU students here to confirm or deny this cliam?
We do have a specific counselor that we are working with. She was responsive for the first phone call, but after that - no response at all. No email, no phone calls. We can't even find out what EFC they are working off of, and she already told us that she gapped my d. I'm frustrated - I know they are very busy.
From the WashU website:
'Your award will probably stay the same or increase while you’re a student at Washington University. The only basis for reducing financial assistance is a major improvement in a family’s financial circumstances.' Link below
Oh no, oncampus said that their fin aid decreased after first year... I really hope this rumor of aid dropping after you commit isn't true. That'd be cruel and unusual. Any other WashU current students who can drop in two cents?
Our experience is that financial aid does not decrease from year to year - it either stays the same or increases. The following is from the WashU website - "Your award will probably stay the same or increase while you’re a student at Washington University. The only basis for reducing financial assistance is a major improvement in a family’s financial circumstances.

I said that my aid increased after my first year, not decreased.
