i just called the admissions office and the lady told me that they still haven’t made a decision on me. She said all decisions should be out by the end of May but can’t guarantee because of everything going on
Have any of you appealed for financial aid reconsideration? I just received my financial aid packet and it honestly had me laughing from shock.
Hey everyone, did anyone else receive really bad aid?? I have an EFC of 0 but they only gave me about 17K in grants. It also says that it is tentative. BU is my top choice but after two years at my current college I’m worried about not being able to transfer…
Do you know how to file for an appeal? I can’t seem to find a link for anything regarding that on the BU portal.
i think if you want to do an appeal you have to write a letter and upload it to your Mybu portal, when you click on upload a financial aid material, you will see “Appeal”.
There’s a set form you have to submit. You can find the url in the “guide to your financial aid” that’s linked on the fin aid page in the portal.
Admitted to Questrom today! Got the email to check the portal at 4:30, but my letter was dated April 30th. Good look to everyone still waiting!
@paolaex23 Hey, I also have an EFC of 0, but I got really good aid. So, I legit have no clue how admission/financial officers work, everything is legit really unpredictable.
@kdalida @paolaex23 where did you find your aid?
When is BU’s transfer deposit deadline?
How are the financial aid offers?
Doesn’t BU now claim to meet 100% of financial need?
How much aid?
An error I posted is that BU claims to meet 100% aid for first-year students, not necessarily transfers.
What % of your financial need is met? How much grants vs. loans?
There should be a link that says “Financial Aid” on the top.
@Yankeefan20 I got around $50k without all the loans.
@kdalida thanks! I don’t have that, my financial aid checklist still comes up, even though it’s complete. I’m sure I just have to wait!
@eriddle I’m pretty sure the deadline is June 1
Yes it’s June 1. But what’s going to happen if you don’t your deposit on time?
