Hi everyone! Quick question, I appealed for financial aid and I called them on Friday - they said it is already processed and will appear on the portal the day after. It’s been two days now my deadline to commit is June 1st, meaning I would lose “leverage” over financial aid by then. Considering it’s Memorial Day Weekend, when and where would I be able to find the update on my portal and should I deposit before I get my appeal if it becomes too late? Thanks in advance!
If you want to preserve your spot you should pay the deposit. You’re not giving up leverage if you’re appealing the FA package they originally offered. However, if you can’t afford BU unless the FA is changed make sure you’ve also deposited at an affordable school too.

Thank you so much! My parents can afford it but we’ll be taking on a reasonable amount of debt so the appeal will definitely help. I’ve made my decision though!! Thank you!!
Wait should I accept the tentative financial aid too? If the appeal is successful it will still change correct?
I’d wait to see what happens tomorrow. It’s a business day and you should get the update from the appeal. However, I’d suggest you call the FA office and ask if you need to accept the FA package by the deposit deadline. I’m not sure if you need to but you don’t want to miss any deadline.
If the appeal isn’t what you hoped for you’re choices are continue with the FA package or go to another school that’s more affordable for you.
Congratulations on your acceptance!!
