Applying Fall vs. Spring Financial Aid

[crimsondreamin]

I was wondering if there was any financial benefit in terms of applying for the fall or spring semester as a transfer. I read somewhere that it’s better to apply in the spring because the school has already depleted its funds for the year after fall. I wasn’t sure if this was accurate and I tried to do research but nothing came up. I am applying to Boston University and Northeastern if that makes a difference. Thank you!
