[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had several siblings who went to WashU in the 80’s and they were each given a free ride — my parents had no money. Since when did WashU stop offering generous financial aid packages? Ps. None of my siblings applied to Ivies so they were not Ivy rejects. [/quote] Probably around the same time that college got much more expensive everywhere, the 80s are ancient history. The sort of generosity I've heard of from WashU was wooing an admitted student by paying airfare and hotel for student and parents. Of course they knew full well the family didn't need assistance, the school just suspected the trip wouldn't happen otherwise. PPs are correct, being need blind without a promise to meet demonstrated need, is mostly PR. And, this was a well rounded student with math and music awards, who was rejected by Ivys, but is now very happy at school with a top math program.[/quote]
