I won't get any need-based aid from colleges, but I've applied for the Entrepreneurial Scholars Program at WashU. $3k annually, though it barely makes a dent in the cost of the school (Not even 10%)

Where does your dad live? In general I think Rice has better name recognition than Wash U. Part of the problem is the whole "state vs. DC" question.
I got only 6-7K subsidy when I was at Wash U., but tuition was far cheaper then. It was expensive, but now it is like 30K right?
The problem with paying full is that you will be one of the few who is doing so. Basically, you will be paying for someone else's education since they will go for 1/2 price or less.
Unless your parents are super rich, I would urge you to apply for aid.
