For those who have applied and been accepted to both BC and Villanova, did you find their need based financial aid comparable? It seems like, over the years, I read about disappointing financial aid results from both. I know BC says they meet need, but now reading here about home equity, I can see how the awards may be disappointing. Does anyone have more details regarding what way home equity is factored in?
We need to run the NPC but, like others, there are factors that may not make our NPC result accurate. This is definitely a factor for many when trying to decide whether to apply ED1, ED2, or RD.
Incidentally, my D got an e-mail from BU yesterday, something about them now meeting need. This is interesting because I feel like they have not been the most generous in the past with regard to aid. I know the schools are pretty different; however, there may be overlap with some interested in both schools, so I figured I would mention it here.
