<p>I just received my financial aid from BC and they gave me a couple thousand short of cover all but my FAFSA EFC.</p>
<p>Should i try and apeal this and attempt to get more aid, is it worth it?
is there any chance they will give me more aid because i really want to go to BC and as of now the difference might be to much for me and my family.</p>
<p>Go for it. They are not going to reject you or withdraw you admittance.</p>
<p>By the way, do you mind telling me your EFC. The reason I ask is because my EFC is approiximately 35,500, and if I don't get most to all of that covered, and with additional scholarships get it down to about 30k, I am not going.</p>
<p>are you a transfer?</p>
<p>my efc was about 27k and they covered all but about 29k, the financial aid i received was mostly scholarship money. thanks for the advice bosoxnm3</p>
<p>no i am not a transfer, i am a freshman applicant accepted under early action</p>
<p>you must have filed your fafsa mad early then. we're just starting ours. how'd you do it without your tax returns?</p>
<p>you can base it off of your 2007 forms(if there are not any major changes) and then submit your 2008 information later</p>
<p>if i want to appeal my financial aid should i call or write a letter?</p>
<p>well it doesnt seem like that much, you could gasp take out some loans or hold a part time job! Oh no god forbid! 29k is not that much debt to graduate with. I know I'll be graduating with a lot more most likley as my parents arent giving me ****.</p>
<p>the saddest part is is that BC's inability to give students the aid they need actually prevents students from going there. I know that me going there depends solely on how much aid they give me, and how much i can get in loans. This economic crisis has really impacted my family's financial status (father is a realtor).</p>
<p>miktau 29 * 4 = 116
and my parents are not planning on paying much of that at all
probably 1/5 of the total cost :( </p>
<p>but yeah it could be a lot worse</p>

<p>I still haven't gotten mine... when do I panic?</p>
<p>did you check online(agora)? try that, then just call student services but don't panic yet</p>
<p>well anyway should i appeal and if so call or write?
thanks</p>
<p>i haven't gotten mine yet either. but i havent submitted the fafsa yet.</p>
<p>When I check Agora, I only get:</p>
<p>If you have not previously submitted your non-refundable Enrollment Confirmation and Housing Guarantee fees, please click here to do so.</p>
<p>If you would like to withdraw your admission, please submit the Admission Withdrawal Form.</p>
<p>If you would like to postpone your enrollment, please submit the Admission Deferment Request.</p>
<p>I lied. Figured it out.</p>
<p>And I got nothing. Aweeesome.</p>
<p>aw man, that sucks. Is BC your first choice?</p>
<p>One of 'em. Is calling and appealing at all advised?</p>
<p>that really sucks</p>
<p>here is the appeal in formation</p>
<p>Financial</a> Aid Appeals - Student Services - Boston College</p>
<p>i would agree the appeal process at BC does not look to hopeful
but what is the worst that can happen, they just say no</p>
