</code></pre>

<p>then I guess it is safe to assume that my daughter got no merit , though she got accepted to Sargent. They want non-custodial forms ( which would be a first if merit is based on income )</p>

<p>lje62: Yup, my d got no merit either; we kind of knew that they wanted FA forms for merit awards....it really did not sit well with my husband; so he didn't want to fill them out; thought it was ridiculous...</p>

<p>as it turns out, this is the only school so far my d did not get merit aid (totally unexpected $$ at most of her schools).....that will not make her decision, but I'm sure it will not be ignored.....</p>

<p>I didn't get any merit aid either but they gave me a helluva lot of grants! :D</p>

<p>Ah same here. No Merit but all the grants I need :D :D :D</p>

<p>Grants are great...anything is if you don't have to pay it back.
Had they let me know back before the financial aid deadlines, it would have been more feasable.</p>

<p>My ex, or his wife, I should say are less than thrilled to submit anything(:
I am so pleased to see the kids here who got such hefty aid from BU !!
Congrats to you all.</p>
