Quote:

Only 7% of WUSTL undergraduates receive Pell Grants. This is the lowest percentage among the US News top 25 national universities. (top link)

Quote:

If WUSTL were doing its "best to make things affordable for as many people as possible," it would not prioritize merit scholarships over need-blindness. Being need-aware is a choice WUSTL made, one that is clearly not in the interest of its (low-income) applicants. The lack of socioeconomic diversity at WUSTL relative to other US News top 25 schools proves that.

Quote:

It's easy to offer generous financial aid when you reject those (qualified) who need it the most.

Do you think that WUSTL would reject an applicant purely on lack of ECs and minor...?

For those of you that don't know already, do not respond to the troll above. It is useless and results in endless exchanges, full of vitriol. Respond to the OP if you want as if IG never posted.

Washington University also fared well on other Princeton Review ranking lists, placing fourth in Quality of Life, ninth in School Runs Like Butter, 10th in Best Campus Food, and 10th in Dorms Like Palaces.

Thanks fallenchemist. You're right. I was posting on the Duke site, where my son is, and IG is doing the same thing on that thread. I went to Wash U and recruit for there, which is why I'm on this thread.
