<p>So yesterday I just visited and the admissions officer said that even if you apply ED and get in you won’t know your financial aid packages until the spring, so if you need financial aid, you shouldn’t ED. Does anybody know if BU actually gives a lot of aid or not really?</p>
<p>That’s an entirely subjective question. Some people get lots of aid, some people don’t. You’ll need to be more specific about your stats/EFC for us to know.</p>
<p>It depends- my friend and I have the same package for UCSB because we have the same family income- but I had a much better BU package than she did and when we both appealed for more aid, I got it and she didn’t. It depends on merit too.</p>
