| Mine didn't get an offer. And - ouch - not even waitlisted. |

Same. Also not ideal/considerate that they seemingly staggered the rollout of their decisions. |

| is WIS as desirable compared to the usual Big3/5? |

| Does applying for Financial Aid make you a less desirable applicant at WIS. |

Absolutely. |

| Absolutely NOT! Admissions are need blind at all schools. |

This is not true. Admissions are not need blind at all schools. Do your research. From, Someone who needs significant FA |

I’m not sure how a school can be truly need blind when one of the questions on the main application form is “will you be applying for financial aid?”. It is right there on the second page of the application. |

What do you mean? We were rejected and had applied for FA. |

It's not an "official" entry year--spots are available only by attrition--but more kids leave at 9th than at most other years so more spots open up (of course, lots more kids also are applying, so I'm not sure 9th is an easier admit than 8th or 10th, e.g., it probably varies from year to year). |

AO absolutely makes the decisions |
