@cryingchemist – I assume you made your decision already. I am trying to figure out what you mean by the “elitist attitude” at WashU. My student is a senior there and I have met many of their peers. To be honest, I don’t see an elitist attitude – I see people who work hard, are interested in the world around them and in making a difference. I can tell you that the support our student has received from WashU – and the involvement and interaction with the faculty and staff – has been superb. In fact, they received a grant to do research this summer at Barnes-Jewish. With three assigned advisors – College, Major, and Career – and many other interested faculty mentors and opportunities – college has been a great experience. Hard work, but great people. I can’t speak to Michigan but I can speak for WashU.

Also – the school is placing great emphasis on improving the Economic diversity of the school as well – with $500M endowment for scholarships and other non-loan assistance. Finally – take a look at the profiles of WashU’s two Rhodes Scholars this year.

Best of luck to you!
