Purely at my own fault, I did not know we had to submit the CSS profile in order to be considered for aid at Boston University (was ineligible for any aid while attending a community college). I submitted the CSS profile today on 3/4 and I’ll assume they’ll have it by the end of the business week. I was wondering if anyone knew if late financial aid submissions had a significant impact on aid given?
i am not so sure. i have heard stories about BU applicants not receiving any aid due to a late CSS Profile/FASFA. they give them out on a first come first serve basis… and clearly state that if your financial aid application is late it will be considered after other applicants.
@cercit20 thanks for the reply! My friend heard back a couple of days ago, and in terms of need based aid I don’t see myself getting any 
(considering her aid package & family’s income).
that’s a bummer. i really don’t see myself getting much from BU either. i would be honestly suprised if they gave me enough aid to attend lol
BU has very limited financial aid and rarely meets your full demonstrated need. Missing a deadline provides them with a ready excuse to deny you aid, which is likely given how limited their resources are.
