<p>My EFC is 0. How big of a factor was this in my being waitlisted? I’m not trying to make excuses or make myself feel better but is it true that having high need hurts you at WashU?</p>
<p>I’ve done research since being waitlisted (I could kick myself for not doing it before applying) and according to everything I’ve read, being in need of a significant amount of aid does hurt you at WashU. I only wish they would be honest about it upfront.</p>
<p>For a second I thought this was some joke thread about pot…</p>
<p>novice in a way, they are. They say they are not a need blind school, so it is a factor. when i visited i brought this up and they were very up front about that with me. best of luck to both of you in all of your college decisions!</p>

<p>Lol. I really laughed at that one.</p>
<p>So did I, especially after I reread the title. lol</p>
<p>i don’t understand how wash u expects to compete with all of its peer institutions who are all need-blind
they are losing some very valuable and diverse students with their policy</p>
