I’m also still waiting to hear back.
I just got my decision
I am also waiting to hear back, and when I called, they told me that they would be releasing decisions until the end of the month. I only submitted my FAFSA and haven’t submitted my CSS profile, so that might be why. Anyways, good luck everyone 
What school did you apply to and did you get your financial aid package?
ACCEPTED omg thank god
Heard back from my financial aid appeal today. They gave me an extra $1,000, causing my financial aid via grants to go from $43,000 to $44,000. Really disappointed, as my EFC is $2000 and I’m not taking out $33,000 in loans each year despite BU being my top choice out of the schools I transferred to.
Good luck everyone!

On my portal there is no financial aid tab like some of you mentioned in this thread…is this something that appears only after a financial aid decision is made?
@eriddle yes! mine only appeared once my fin aid decision was available
have any admitted students received a welcome packet?
God I’m still waiting. One question is that my professor uploaded rec letter mid-April. So nervous waiting for the decision.
does anyone with an EFC of around 40k wanna lmk what they got from financial aid?
Anyone get decision today?
I got my financial aid award. Would have to pay $64k a year if I attend, super upsetting bc there’s no way I can afford that
Hello, everyone, I still haven’t heard back from BU but I heard back from another school that has a better major for me, so I will likely withdraw my app to BU/ turn down the offer even if I was accepted. I honestly don’t know if that actually helps clear space for another student, but I hope that can give a spot to someone who really wants to go to BU Goooood luck!
For those referring to their EFC’s: The FAFSA EFC is irrelevant as BU is a CSS profile school. You need to compare your aid to what the BU NPC said you would receive.
@TomSrOfBoston I have to pay $20k more than what their NPC said I’d receive lol
How is need calculated from the CSS Profile?
@Yankeefan20 It isn’t. Did you use that NPC on the BU website? That would give you a better idea of what aid you might get.
Probably they r gonna release decision until this week?
