“A lot of the top candidates don’t feel like taking the time to write those extra essays because they know it is highly unlilely they will attend the school in the first place.”

I am pretty sure WUSTL does waitlist people who appear to be using them as a safety. Not applying for scholarships could be a sign for them, I guess. Although I personally know at least several “top candidates” who did not apply for the scholarships because they knew it was highly unlikely they will attend who were accepted. Some ended up attending.
