Haha well that’s good to hear, I’ll do some more research on BME, then.

As for the “affordableBU” program, yes I did read about it, they claim to fulfill 100% of “demonstrated need,” but seeing as my family’s financial situation has taken a rapid upturn over the past year, I’m worried that they might give me lower FA taking into account the current year’s finances only.
The issue of course is that there are a lot of other things to settle in the background, and so we’ve estimated that 20-30k would be apt in terms of overall family contribution, which is similar to the EFC we’ve calculated for most of the schools using the net price calculator.

If that’s a worry you should probably drop NYU from ED consideration. Of those who reported offers for both BU and NYU in the NYU thread, invariably BU gave better aid - often significantly so - and some applicants chose it over NYU for exactly that reason. I don’t find the url now but i seem to recall reading that NYU on average provides 60% of need.
