<p>I received one of the extremely coveted scholarships at WashU and I would advice anyone and everyone to give it a shot no matter how strong/weak they think their applications are. Applying for scholarships at WashU gives them an insight into your personality/extracurriculars and in a way, also tells them that you are really interested in the school. I never expected to be a finalist, and If I hadn’t applied, I would be paying so much more. Also, if you aren’t able to attend the weekend, I’m sure they’ll help you sort things out.</p>
