<p>How is Boston University at giving financial aid? Are they generous? Stingy? Fair?</p>
<p>Someone told me it was hard to get good FA at BU…but idk how reliable that piece of info is.</p>
<p>I think their FA is mostly based on how you are academically. There was an old FA page and it considered factors such as GPA and SAT scores in ADDITION to need. So, I think it can be unfair to people with high need and low GPA/SATs and more than fair to people with low need, but with high GPA and SATs.</p>
<p>I think that’s partly true but they do have merit based aid which is based on solely how you do academically and not on need. That takes into account your GPA, SAT scores, and I believe your school ranking.</p>
