I was just accepted to Boston University, and I would love to attend… but I’m worried about the (insanely high) price. I do not qualify for need-based financial aide, but of course cost is still a factor in deciding between BU and a quality in-state public school.
I didn’t apply to any merit scholarships unfortunately. Is there anything I can do at this point to help cover some of the tuition cost?
How short ae you on meeting the cost? Other than loans which should be limited there is nothing you can do at this point.
There is no specific number. It’s really more convincing my parents that BU is worth the extra money, as I was also admitted to UC Irvine with the regent’s scholarship. (I live in California, so it’s in-state for me).
You have no other UC options, even without merit?
Only Santa Cruz. Waitlisted at San Diego and Davis. Still waiting on Berkeley.
