financial aid gw vs bu

<p>so i just got accepted into bu today and received info about financial aid, including loans, grants, etc. i'm still waiting for gw's info to come in the mail (unless there's some way to check financial stuff online for gw?)</p>

<p>i've heard that bu is kind of a crapshoot, which turned out to be true for me (by reading the forums over there, i saw that people with higher efcs than me got DOUBLE my gifts/awards). my question: is gw more consistent with financial aid? i know their average award is probably higher since the tution is higher, but am i gonna get shafted AGAIN?
i really hope that gw will give me more in grants, because right now, the numbers for bu are seriously ridiculous.</p>

<p>i got 26500 from BU, I'm almost 100% sure GWU will give me (and you) more. So don't worry. I'm waiting on it too.</p>

<p>i only got $14,000, which is crazy, considering my efc was ~8000.</p>

<p>i got a very low sum from bu. hoping for more from gw...</p>
