I don’t know about UMass Boston, but I know UMass Amherst has a phenomenal language/linguistics program- a lot better than BU. Have you tried applying there?

And in general, I always think it’s better to go with a cheaper option. You can always work hard undergrad and go to the brand name grad school of your dreams- after you have some money.
