10k/year but I’ve heard of 15k/yr too so I guess it dependsCongrats y'all! This is awesome. How much is the dean's scholarship worth?

When do financial aid packages come out? Does anybody know?
In terms of need-based aid? Are we sure BU gives any? I'm 99% sure that all financial aid packages here will be 100% loans, besides dean's scholarship people. Does anyone have any experience/evidence otherwise?
I found this in US news from 2019
Can any students comment on whether we have a good shot at the MSR if we don't send in the housing deposit before April 15th? Already struggling to get the $500 for the tuition deposit, another $550 is not possible right now.
Dont quote me on this but I think I remember hearing it doesnt fill up that quickly. As a Boston resident now, ill tell you $1300/month for a dorm room isnt the best deal.

It’s actually not 1300 a month. On the FAQ page of the MSR, it says a generous donation has reduced rent to about 1025 a month. This was also confirmed when I talked to a student representative.
Stay hopeful, I got up to 5 WL this cycle before getting my very first A! I even found a guy who had gotten 8 WL before his first A. If you still have answers pending, nothing is lost. Good Luck!FML this is my fourth waitlist this cycle with no acceptances
When I went, most people looked happy and were smiling at us and giving us directions. The student guides told me that they came here for the welcoming atmosphere they had on interview day. I was only there for a day though, so I would also love to have the opinion from someone who lived there for a bitWhat have people heard about the students at BU? Are they happy? How is the culture of the student body?
April 13th
Anyone know if it is possible to be awarded the dean's scholarship after acceptance? I was just awarded a full tuition scholarship from my state school, but BU is a dream.
I don't think so. You would choose going to BU at a small 10k/year discount over minimal to zero debt at state school?
Is 10k/year the maximum they give out?
Does anyone know if they ever offer full tuition scholarships?
FYI finaid is up on my portal!
Question- are gradplus loans supposed to be included in our finaid package from BU?
I saw that - Is it common to only be granted half the COA by a Federal Direct Loan? Do people usually get more or less than this?
I’m in the same boat, maybe grad plus isn’t included, it seems like Federal Direct was maxed out.
It’s confusing that my offer is about half of the COA, as if I can pay the rest out of pocket lol
Did you get a notification? Nothing in my portal changedFYI finaid is up on my portal!

My portal did not change at all either.
I got an email. Also they’ve had my FAFSA since like November- not sure if timing matters hereDid you get a notification? Nothing in my portal changed
+1 I received a deans scholarship, a loan that cover half the COA and the rest I guess is meant to be covered by grad plus. The number makes my palms sweaty though....I was pretty set on BU but this sort of makes me hope I get off my state schools wait list afterall...I’m in the same boat, maybe grad plus isn’t included, it seems like Federal Direct was maxed out.

I really don't think it will, so no worries, we are all suffering together.I accepted the position on the waitlist a little late, does anyone know if how long you took to answer have any bearing on WL position?
Business casual, per the confirmation email I got:what's the dress code for second look?
I haven't. Hoping to get it before SL...Has anyone else not gotten their financial aid package?
thank you!
Would any kind soul with MSAR access mind sharing the updated WL statistics for BU?
Thank you! But also big oof300 waitlist positions and 20 accepted.... yikes
