<p>Dear Lauren1223 : You will likely receive an acceptance letter based on your numbers. So, let’s make the topic very real for other readers. Has your family had the realistic discussion as to how you will be covering the $55,000 per year price tag? The number one topic in posts that appear after the early admissions round is the sticker-shock when need-blind evaluations come for the accepted students.</p>
<p>We remind you and everyone reading that the family of four with $150,000 of total income, $100,000 in family savings, and their own home will likely see nothing in the way of financial aid. Merit aid is limited to Presidential Scholarships which is an all-or-nothing proposition for about fifteen students per year. [The area of merit aid has been one of the great chasms for Boston College over the last decade.]</p>
<p>Again, turning back to your material, our sense if that you should be fine - will be interesting to hear from you after the decisions are rendered.</p>
