<p>How generous are they with financial aid, compared to similar New England colleges of similar academic level?</p>
<p>depends who you are, how bad they want you, etc. I was quite lucky with financial aid, others on this board, not so much. search threads for this…there was actually a NYTimes article about BU’s fin aid office. it’s all a calculation between what your EFC is and your SAT score/gpa/the ad comm’s interest in your app</p>
<p>It’s exactly like Bailey said. The better your scores are, the more BU wants you and the more money they shell out. Aid depends on your need and your scores. So the more need you have and the better scores you have, the more money you’ll get.</p>
