^Im in a similar situation, some people may see my stats and say I belong in HYPS , etc…but to me WashU is just as good as these so called elite schools. I can’t stress how happy I am with my decision to apply ED. I thought the same thing, that they wouldn’t give me merit money since I applied ED, but they ended up giving me full tuition Ervin (I applied EDII but was an RD Ervin applicant), inspite of already giving me significant need based aid (40,000 per yr w/o loans) and already having me commited to the school. This showed me that they weren’t playing strategic games to the extent that they are accused of and they were just trying to award good students regardless of other factors.
