Agree with Tubacaflaca. WashU has made a concerted effort to entice some of the best of the best away from Ivys, Standford, Duke etc, and they have been quite successful. One of their tactics is to offer a good number of need-blind merit scholarships. Have your daughter apply for Danforth and Stamps scholarships, as well as one of the “honorary scholars” funding. Read carefully though. There are limits on which and how many honorary scholarships your daughter can apply for. Last year, S could not apply for both Compton and Moog honorary scholarships for example. He ended up getting Danforth and Stamps though.
Good luck!
