Ok….I’m confused.
What scholarships are you applying for at Boston College? The school gives only need based aid.
You say there is a change in financial circumstances but you can still afford $60,000 a year to attend? What was that financial change? Your 2023-2024 financial aid will be based on 2021 income tax data, and assets as of the date of filing your financial aid forms? How are you sure you will receive aid from BC now?
Also, you are a CA resident. There are some UCs with Linguistics programs. What’s wrong with those?
