Boston University Financial Aid

<p>If you got in or are in it, how much are they giving you in grants and what are your stats?
Please respond, want to know.</p>

<p>43000 in grants, havent called the school yet inquiring about any available scholarships. 2100 sats 3.9 gpa 12 AP clases top 15% in class, attended there summer program etc</p>

<p>Are you a Boston High Schooler? And what is your EFC?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>42700 in Grants
1930 SAT
30 ACT
4.0GPA IB Diploma Programme (Higher Level and Standard Level Courses)
top 7% of class</p>

<p>Are your guys EFCs really low? Cause i knew a couple people with similar/higher stats(2020SAT 3.7GPA AP Classes) who say BU has given them very little</p>

<p>yea my EFC is really low</p>

<p>I only got 10K plus another 5K in loans. Not nearly enough. I have a brother at Brown and my parents are unemployed.</p>

<p>I got 39,000 all together however 9,000 of that is in loans.
My parents EFC was 5,500 however since then my dad has lost his job.
Hmm.</p>

<p>We have twins and an EFC of 16,000 for both = $8,000 each; my D got into BU but they only offered her $6k in loans, which is virtually zero. At suggestion of previous poster, we may call and appeal, but seems unlikely they'll come anywhere near to helping us afford it. Thank the lord for UMass Amherst!</p>

<p>Boston University is very disappointing in the FA offered. My D was offered more money at NYU (notorious for lousy aid)!</p>

<p>If you have a low EFC, and didnt get enough AID, its possible you did your fafsa late or later and CSS. Also the University grant given by Boston University is really based on EFC and grades and such.</p>

<p>How much would you guys say an EFC of 4000 with 3.5GPA 2000SAT would get in Boston University Grant?</p>

<p>i dont really know but my EFC is like 5</p>

<p>26K in fin aid
2080 SAT, 13 AP’s, top 15%, don’t know my unweighted GPA, pretty low EFC</p>

<p>i didn’t turn in my forms by the priority deadline. is there any way i can call and ask for more finaid?</p>

<p>41k in financial aid and 5.5k dollars is loans.
I think I will call because my dad does not have a job and my mom is going to lose hers in June.</p>

<p>Bump. (filler)</p>

<p>sheezes, i only got 15k in grants/scholarships, 2k work study, and 8.5k in loans. hopefully i can get more…AH.</p>

<p>47k (7k in loans + work/study) Not taking the loans though, b/c I already have $5, 000 from two outside scholarships I got & I"m def doing work/study if I go…I’m still trying to decide…This is sooo hard! :)</p>

<p>1650 SAT
23 ACT
3.70 g.p.a</p>

<p>p.s. Scores aren’t everything. I’m proof of that! :)</p>

<p>I am from boston, and although i agree that BU is a great schooll, its not worth you taking so much money, think for ur future!</p>

<p>2030 SAT
33 ACT
3.6 unweighted average
EFC 0
$7,000
