[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often does a school provide details of a financial aid package when offering a spot from the waitlist? Is it not reasonable to want to know about the financial aid package before accepting the spot? A relative has been told that they must accept the spot in order to learn about the financial aid package. [/quote] That does not sound correct at all, even if the college doesn't promise to meet full need. Can't agree to a contract when you don't know the price. They should call the financial aid office. And run the college's Net Price Calculator. PP is correct that many colleges are unlikely to accept those needing lots of aid off the waitlist, that is, most schols are need-aware for the waitlist even if they are need-blind for admission. This depends on how they are doing with their financial aid budget at any particular point in time.[/quote]
