<p>bc is my absolute top choice but i received my financial aid package and i only received $10,000 in grants. All of my other colleges (also through need-based financial aid) have offered me $20,000+ in grants, which is why i feel bc is being sort of unfair. my family really can’t afford to pay that much tuition but i really want to go. i called my financial aid counselor at bc but he basically told me not to expect any more aid.
is there anything else i can do?</p>
<p>this is all really worrying me. my parents say that I will go to the college that gives me the most aid. I really want to go to BC</p>
<p>That’s strange. BC gave me the best financial aid out of any school. The only thing I have heard of people doing is showing proof of your other financial aid packages and if they want you they give you more. That’s if they really want you though.</p>

<p>“unfair” is an inappropriate word. BC may be less generous than some other colleges because it uses a different financial aid formula, but that doesn’t make it “unfair”.</p>
<p>^ BC’s net price calculator estimated that we would receive $25k in grants. I used the same information in the CCS profile. Our actual grant was $1600!! One thousand six hundred compared to an estimate of twenty-five thousand!!! I have a call in to them.</p>
