Financial Aid: how good is it?

<p>The main answer that I’ve gotten is not to expect much from WUSTL. However, I think that they’ll be looking at each student on a case-by-case basis and that you can’t rule aid out just yet. The best thing to do is to send in the special scholarships they’ll mail you about, which are very competitive but it’s better to apply than not. I didn’t read the letter in time and realized that I wouldn’t be able to send in teacher rec’s on such short notice. The best thing that you can do is to focus on your grades, extracurriculars, volunteer work, etc. rather than to think about aid since WUSTL is a competitive school to get into.</p>
