Late CSS and FAFSA

<p>Hey all, I have a question.</p>

<p>I applied to a bunch of schools, but my decision is basically between BU and Northeastern (unless GW gives me a TON of money). I have no need (my EFC is over 50k), but I still would like some merit scholarship money (who wouldn't?). Northeastern is giving me 11k, which is great, but my question is about BU. I sent my FAFSA and CSS in late, and they say for merit scholarships you need to send them in on time. I don't know if I would have gotten any merit scholarships anyway (BU was a match-reach for me), but I was wondering if I should send BU a letter begging them to reconsider their decision not to give me merit bling. I haven't recieved anything definative about merit scholarship info from BU; they haven't sent me a letter saying I have it or that I don't have it, but my friend got his merit scholarship info when he got his acceptance letter.</p>
