Thank you so much for asking! I did get in to COM, but unfortunately I received $0 in financial aid. This is a bit of a problem, but my family is appealing the decision; my father had the FAFSA and CSS Profile completed, and the NPC repeatedly assured us that I would be receiving about $25-30 in scholarship aid. Where this money went is the question we are trying to answer at the moment. I know we can appeal now, but I also heard that a financial aid packet comes closer to RD time as well, so hopefully something will work out by that point.
How is everything going with your daughter’s college process? Any news from WU? I’d love to hear if she ended up being accepted!
I am so sorry to hear that @purplepug13. Very sorry to hear it. I am glad your parents are appealing. I have been told over and over by several sources that if the FA package does not come in where it should, that you can get out of an ED agreement. I would be surprised that BU wouldn’t already have a FA package for you being that you are ED.
No word from Wash U yet! They have not released decisions yet! We are thinking tomorrow, but they say “by Dec. 15th.” Ugh. Keep you posted.
Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the assurance, I am sure this will all sort itself out eventually. I am aware of the opt-out process, but my family already paid the enrollment deposit, so that’s out of the picture. (The reason being that an early payment would guarantee me optimal housing). I am just hoping that BU will offer some aid; when I applied ED, it was on the basis that I would be receiving the $30K NPC promised. Had I known that I may have to pay the cover price of $67K, I most likely would have applied EA instead.
Best of luck with WU, it’s a shame they did not release decisions as early as BU! Please keep me posted on her decision, and don’t stress too much about it, or you’ll go crazy overnight!
On another thread, I mentioned that the BU NPC results changed drastically for us without a single change in data. It went from a 2k net price to almost full pay (64k). When I called they FA office, they confirmed changed to the NPC. That’s all they’d say.
I too am sorry to hear about your FA issues. I hope you get the aid you need/want from BU! Bookmarking to get updates on your status.

Thank you for that insight, I do recall reading the post you mentioned. I will keep you updated, and if anything changes drastically I will make sure to alert other applicants involved in the FA process as well.
