I founded a couple of groups on campus, mainly a Harm-Reduction group distributing materials on safe-sex and responsible drug use. Additionally, I did research with a well-known biophysical economist and I tutored in intro. econ courses as well.
I got into CAS and I received about $63k in aid
Feel free to DM me if you wanna know anything else.
For those that have been accepted, how long did it take to receive your financial aid package?
@ajsaxton I’m scared at this point they just recently asked for midterms from me. A waitlist after telling me so late would absolutely suck.
@TheWapTrap Did you get $63k as grants or does the 63 include federal subsidized/unsubsidized loans
For some people wondering, I was accepted about a week ago and received my FA package about 3 days later. My financial aid absolutely sucked. I’m a Pell grant recipient and only pay a couple of thousand to attend my current institution (which is also about 75K). I will not be attending due to the lack of aid.
So I’m assuming people have been receiving rejections they understandably aren’t posting about it?
@dsdarling17 my financial aid showed up under the decisions tab about 2 days after I was accepted
@rbfall2019 $5500 of my FinAid was federal loans. The rest were grants.
BU Grant: $47,900
Charles River Housing Grant: $3,400
Pell Grant: $6,145
Then 5500 in federal loans
@transfer2019 do u mind sharing ur EFC? I haven’t received my FA yet so I’m really nervous that it won’t be enougb
Are more decisions going to come out today or not
@Suzzyy Probably not. I don’t think admissions is open on holidays
@dh1230 What holiday is it? I guess the west coast doesn’t observe this holiday you speak of haha xD
@dh1230 It’s Patriots Day which is only celebrated in MA. It’s the day of the Boston Marathon too.
I realized that I cannot access the application status for some reason. When I login, I can only see the start page but unable to load “application status”. Do this indicate anything?
The wait for the aid package is killing me… I was admitted last Wednesday night and still have not received anything, and my aid status on the portal hasn’t changed since I submitted my last document about a month ago
Is anyone still at 3 paragraphs?
@gp1556 I am
And no, Patriots Day is not a holiday to celebrate the football team! Although that may be a new holiday when they win the 2020 Super Bowl.
@gp1556 I’m with you. Mine is still at 3 paragraph…
Mine is three paragraphs too!
