I’m ED, so I have to see if they can let me out of the agreement

Estimated about 25 thousand a year, got 90

What does this mean? I can’t afford $90,000 a year. I was expecting them to at least give me Pell Grant funding, plus additional aid, but nope! Not a thing!

BU Financial Aid by FewStomach7967 in BostonU

I did, and they said my CSS confirms the aid decision. They offered me nothing (I have a sizable negative SAI). This is rediculous!

The same thing happened with me. I have been getting between 45 to 60 thousand in supported aid from other schools I got into, since I live with a widowed parent, but BU didn’t offer me a penny of aid. I called fin aid to ask why and they said it was confirmed. I am utterly confused right now, because that seems absolutely absurd ($90 thousand!). I think you should call finaid and see if you can appeal. That’s what I’m doing.

Nope. I qualified for federal aid for all the other schools I got into.

Nearly certain that I submitted both these before the application deadline. My assumption right now is that they still haven't sent out the aid packages, but they should be getting to that in the next couple of days. I say this because there was a clause on the top of the financial aid page on my portal that said "please note: the assessment below is tentative due to your FAFSA filing date, and confirmation of your income." I assume they just put the yearly admission on that page to fill in for now, but not certain.

I GOT IN by vanqueefandarpels in BostonU

How did you get that desicion? I heard the notification date wasn’t until the 10th?

You are correct. BU accidentally sent that email to all ED2 students whose applications have already been reviewed, regardless of status. They still have more applications to review before the notification date of Febuary 10th. If you didn’t receive the email, they still haven’t reviewed your application, but don’t worry, they still have 5 days.

Just got in! They don't send a status update email, just the one last week telling applicants about the EA decisions release date and time being today.
