hello i’m a prospective international applicant to wustl this year… just wondering if there are any fellow intels out there who were accepted into wustl in previous years to give me some idea about my chances and the prospects of finaid… i’ve got this impression that wustl gives a higher weightage to SAT scores than do its peers (maybe in a bid to further raise its usnews ranking… though there’s nothing wrong with dat certainly). how were the SAT scores of accepted intels like? esp those who are applying for finaid? and how generous is wustl with intel finaid? i’ve heard that they are esp generous to kids they really want to attract but how generous is generous really and how competitive an applicant must u be…? i probably require at least 95% aid to attend wustl and i have rather modest SAT I (1480 old, waiting for OCT results with apprehension…), strong academic records (straight As except one B…), soso extracurriculars but nothing really spectacular… any information or comments would be highly appreciated!
