<p>I applied regular decision and I still have yet to send any financial aid forms in. According to their website, the forms are due february 1st and it recommends you to send them in 4 weeks early. Am I too late?</p>
<p>No you are not too late. Just get them in quickly, which means that your parents need to complete their 2011 tax returns.</p>
<p>Thank you everything is soon to be sent.</p>
<p>Another question though:</p>
<p>Can fin aid make BC affordable? My family makes 180-220k a year so will we be expected to pay full tuition?</p>
<p>2010 tax forms can be sent in now with 2011 ones to follow when done. But get the FAFSA and CSS/PROFILE forms done.</p>
<p>Have you checked the BC cost estimator? All schools are required to have one online now. That should give you some idea. Assets are considered too. Other students in family etc.</p>
<p>Dear John9879 : To your question -
You can expect that your family will be required to pay full freight. The guidelines generally applied (whether from Ivy League financial calculators or other sources) hold the following parameters as the break points : $150,000 annual family income, $100,000 cash/assets, and own your own home (some percentage of equity). Typically, middle to upper middle class families near centers of commerce in the northeast (New York, Boston, Hartford) will earn more than these numbers and therefore be forced into a full pay-to-play situation.</p>
<p>Remember at Boston College, the FAFSA calculation is superceded by BC’s own estimator which includes housing assets.</p>
<p>

<p>One exception, of course, is if you have multiple siblings in college. Then, the EFC is split by the number of college attendees.</p>
