Washington University does not have a need-blind admissions policy. This means that when admissions officers review applications, students who are able to pay full tuition are given higher priority and are more likely to be accepted than students who cannot pay full tuition.
Not all Washington University students consider themselves to be “children” as Justin Ward and many of both his and my friends do. Many students on this campus are largely or completely independent from their parents, financially and even emotionally. Many students on this campus pay their own bills and struggle to live on student loans and low wages from part-time jobs.
