<p>I got accepted early this year to BC, and am falling more and more in love with it.</p>
<p>However, I do have a bit of Financial need, and I was wondering if BC really does fulfill alot of the financial need.</p>
<p>I did the EFC calculator and it said i can pay 20k. </p>
<p>Will BC provide the full financial need, since BC is 48k, then they would give me 28k?</p>
<p>Also, did u receive more or less from BC?</p>

<p>Not from the EFC calculator you're using. BC does it own EFC calculation which factors in home value and investments. If BC's EFC is 28k, then yes, it would meet them. One of my friends calculated that she would received $98,000 from BC grant alone after four years. She calculated that her total bill for BC including loans and out of pocket payment would be $17,200 or $4,300 a year (that's the cost of my local community college).</p>
<p>That being said however, BC is not famous with financial aid for relatively well to do folks (middle-class and higher). Another fellow I'm close with had a FAFSA EFC of $5,000, but a BC EFC of $12,000; even if tuition remains the same, he still would pay an additional $28,000 over the FAFSA's estimate.</p>
<p>My personal case is very satisfactory but that is because I have an extremely generous external scholarship picking my bills.</p>
<p>looks like i need to find an extremely generous external scholarship lol</p>
<p>I basically have the same question. If it helps, I got into the Honors Program.</p>
<p>How about if you have a EFC of ) (family income is only 25,000 this year, was 13,000 the year before and 0 the year before that)</p>
<p>i thought BC would give a lot of Fin aid</p>
<p>average was like 27k or something right?</p>
<p>^ For low-income students yes, and there are a lot of them at BC. Beside right now is not the time to discuss financial aid until they actually send it to you. Every family has different need and different circumstances. Generic numbers will not give you a good enough prediction.</p>
<p>i just hope they give some good financial aid</p>
<p>i get mixed reviews</p>
<p>USNEWs rates them relatively highly for financial aid, is this a good indicator></p>
