The sad thing is that every year someone post heartbroken over BY’s financial aid and every year we have to remind them that
BU does not meet 100% demonstrated need
There is way less money for transfer applicants (especially scholarships)

While you are transferring with an amazing gpa (and an AA degree) , they are also still looking at your high school gpa and scores
BU is not talent blind when it comes to giving out their money
