<p>i wasnt able to apply for financial aid by the deadline. i just sent the css and fafsa, but i dont know if its too late. i know i can appeal which is what im doing with my guidance counselor now, but i've heard that they rarely help you with appeals. i had a lot of circumstances going on during that time (dad lost his job for health reasons, no health insurance, grandfather died, and my parents still havent filed 2011 taxes). if i can come up with a solid case for why my application was late, how much could i get?
my efc is 13k, my parents made 90k combined before, but now my dads unemployed. i have a 3.5 unweighted with 5 ap and 5 honors classes and a 2020 on my sats, 660 on math 2 and 640 on literature.
bu is my top choice and if i cant get around 30k, my parents wont be able to afford it. also exactly what kind of circumstances are they sympathetic about for late applications?</p>
<p>If you do get $30k, how will you pay the rest??? It sounds like your parents financial situation won’t be getting better anytime soon.</p>
<p>What is your financial safety school?</p>
