@Coopy1 I submitted an essay of why I was late and explained my family’s financial troubles with so e supporting documents. I sent it to the financial aid email address and received an email receipt acknowledging the appeal within a few days. @123vgabc if you don’t mind me asking how much aid did you receive? Impressive resume there and I was just wondering how much that matters for aid
Also what’s going on with BU and their financial aid? I’m extremely low income and so are others here and we aren’t getting anything good. BU claims to be a school where they meet all financial needs. This is just so frustrating
@zs2019transfer BU has never claimed to meet full need, neither for freshmen or transfers.
I’m extremely low income too.
BU is need blind but they’re not talent blind according to some internet sites lol
@transferto2022 BU does not promise to meet full need. It never has. Need blind means that they may admit you and offer you insufficient financial aid.
@TomSrOfBoston Thank you for clarifying Tom. If I accepted my tentative financial offer from BU but then got a better offer from a different school, will my federal grants transfer over to the other school that I decide to attend? I am unaware of how this works. @transferto2022 I just read the article about BU not being talent blind. It’s unfortunate for us but it make sense at the end of the day. Hoping that I get a decent offer from BC or northeastern if I am accepted to either. UMass Boston is like 10k per year so there’s still time to apply there too.
@TomSrOfBoston yes I understand and that is what I meant. thank you for clarifying.
@zs2019transfer same. I’m waiting to hear back from NYU, NEU, and Syracuse. Good luck!
finally two paragraphs. Maybe I will hear back tonight or tomorrow.
Anyone else still at three paragraphs? I’m seriously stressed!
I’m sorry but could someone please tell me what the famous two or three paragraphs are?? I’m confused
@transferto2022 If you use the search bar you can find more chats about if. Essentially, when you click your application status in your portal it will display 3 paragraphs if they have all their requested information. When that switches to two it means they have viewed your application and are likely making a decision on it, or they will be soon. After that, the two will change to a decision within a few days or even hours.
A lot of us still at three paragraphs, so don’t be stressed. It will be fine! Good luck to you.
@SKtransfer19 do not be stressed about that, you will receive a decision, be stressed when you see a $30,000-$55,000 bill lol
@transferto2022 good luck!
Finally accepted to Questrom!
still at 3 paragraph… The website says decision by mid-April though
@thisismyname08 Whats your aid like?
@wantstogotoharvd That is just a generic date to give people some sort of an idea. In all reality, they come when they come.
@zs2019transfer I don’t believe it is posted. TBH not sure where it would be.
