Please help with chances and application strategy (ED or RD)

Thanks so much. I didn’t know that 2/3 of Tufts students were full pay. I do know that BC and Tufts have the highest tuition. My parents are both 1st gen college students and I know how lucky I am.

Thanks. That’s what I’m worried about.

You can’t go wrong with bc or tufts. Both great schools. Have visited both several times with my kids.

Last year tufts 661 need aid c of 1805 got need. Bc doesn’t list on common data set so hard to know. But tufts is need aware.that helps full pay. A lot.

But UVM. Fordham. Marist will be less. Even tho they can afford it make sure they are willing when u can go much cheaper.

But if u like bc more than ED there.

The official line at Tufts is that they do not consider need during the ED rounds and it only comes into play during RD when the aid money starts to run out. Whether that is actually true or not, I don’t know. DS got in RD and I suspect being full pay helped him. I can confirm that it very expensive - close to $100 K a year by the time all is said and done.
