Im considering applying early decision for BU, but I want to make sure I can get financial scholarship/aid from the school.
Does BU give good need-base scholarships? I put my info into the financial calculator, but is it accurate?
Income: $100,000
Academic/Merit: 3.9 (unweighted) 4.8 (weighted)
BU gives “good” need based aid but they do not promise to meet full need. You and your parents will still be paying/borrowing a lot of money.
BU doesn’t promise to meet full need. However, BU does often offer merit aid to attractive candidates, regardless of need. If you’re a strong candidate academically with a well-rounded application, you have a shot at merit aid. But no guarantees, unfortunately.
