<p>Maybe prestige was a bias choice of words because I just really want to go BC and feel like I’ve worked really hard in high school and it’d hard to settle and go to schools that people over 70 class ranks below me got into 
but this makes sense and thank you all very much… I feel like the private school benefits and “pre-med” at BC would help but I doubt it’s worth 80k 
But back to finances, how does all of this work for privates though? Why didn’t Boston College bring me down to 20k as well if my EFC is 10 (according to them, it’s actually lower) and I’m supposed to summon 9? Where should i get the other 20k if they insist I can afford 40k a year?</p>
