Hi, after checking the stats of Boston U, I have discovered that it is ranked #8 in biomedical engineering, the major I have decided upon and am applying to. I have not yet applied and probably cannot finish my app until January 1. Could someone please tell me my chances and how much scholarship/financial aid I'll likely get. I'm an Out Of Stater and can't afford the high cost.

First, BU is a private institution, not a public one, and tuition is the same whether you're a state resident or not.

I don't know about financial aid. Have you tried using the EFC calculator? With your stats you have an excellent chance at $10-15K in merit aid.
