<p>BC says they meet 100% of your need as demonstrated by the FAFSA and CSS. Apparently your package is for a total of $18,000, so you would be responsible for paying the balance which would be about $23,000. The scholarship is for $14,000 which you don't have to pay back. $2000 is for works study, which means you will have a job on campus that will pay that much. $2,000 is a loan that you will have to pay back after graduation.</p>
<p>I got in today too! I went to get the mail.. saw the package.. was shaking so much that i couldn't get it out of the mailbox but saw that it was from Chestnut Hill so i knew it was from BC. I have never been so happy .. BC's applicant pool was ridiculous and I am just so happy to have been accepted.. Congratulations to all!!</p>
<p>I just got in today. They are definitely not bad with financial aid. I only have one more school to wait for.</p>
<p><em>Sigh</em> I wish that my financial aid from BC was as good as the previous posts. The system sucks, but I'm done ranting. :-)</p>
<p>rovee- what was your fin aid package? BC gave me $16,000 a semester, plus work study, stafford loan and perkins loan it came out to $23,325 a year.. It was a little lower then what Loyola and Villanova offered me, so i was pretty happy with BC's package..On the other hand, University of Richmond offered me $37,275.00 a year!! that's practically a free ride..Ahhh, it's hard to pass that up but BC is my first choice and i love it there so im going regardless.. </p>
<p>by the way im still shaking.. time to celebrate!! :)</p>
<p>congrats bcgirl and all other aceptees!</p>
<p>just got my official accptance today in long island!!!!</p>
<p>Again, congrats bcgirl13 on the acceptance! I'm glad that you got in because you totally seem like someone who would both benefit from and make a difference at the school just with your passion for it.</p>
<p>Haha, lets just say that my complete financial aid package (grants/loans) doesn't even match the total amount of grants that you received from BC. It's really disappointing because BC was my #1 school ever since I started looking at colleges. To make my situation even more frustrating, if I really wanted to, I could go to BC for free (ROTC scholarship for tuition and financial aid for room and board). Unfortunately, I can't decide whether or not to accept the scholarship because there are things I want to do after undergrad that I might not be able to do if I do ROTC (i.e. law school).</p>
<p>Shake away bcgirl13, you deserve it! :-) I wish you the best of luck at BC, and with your zeal, I know you'll do just fine.</p>

<p>rovee- Thank you!... that is disappointing /frustrating. maybe you should call the fin aid office and find out why it was so low.. anyway good luck and congrats again! :)</p>

<p>Hey to those accepted....I got my letter and folder but I didn't get anything about financial aid yet? Did that come with any of your letters?</p>
<p>hmm ash did you hand in your FASFA/CSS late? cuz you should have gotten in with it.. it was right in the left hand pocket of the folder behind the acceptance letter</p>
<p>I hope to get an acceptance tomorrow :)</p>

<p>I don't know if I'll be going, due to a poor financial aid package (something to the tune of $1300 a year... hey, it'll almost pay for books!), and I'm waiting to hear from a few more schools.</p>
<p>lol, and I thought my financial aid package sucked amanda. Congrats on getting in though. (Yay, WA!)</p>
<p>Rovee, Tacoma, eh? I go to school there.</p>
<p>Really? Well, I can think of a couple of schools over here that would have you living in GH and going to school in Tacoma. What other schools are you considering?</p>
