<p>you did your fafsa and CSS profile right?? You have stafford and maybe perkins loans on your FA award??? Did you qualify for a Pell Grant</p>
<p>BU is saying, they are just not that into you. You can appeal, but the amount that you would need to ‘get’ is going to be way more than they are willing to ‘give’ IMO</p>
<p>from other posts, I think the OP is in California. Did you apply to their schools, Cal Grant, etc. Could you afford to GET to Boston from California a couple of times a year??</p>
