Is Boston College need-blind for domestic and international applicants?

Question

I’m trying to understand how financial need factors into admissions at Boston College because cost is a big part of my college list.

I keep seeing mixed explanations of need-blind vs need-aware, and I want to know how Boston College handles this for U.S. students compared with international applicants.

Accepted Answer

Boston College is need-blind for first-year domestic applicants who are U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens. That means your ability to pay is not considered during the admissions review for that group.

For international applicants, Boston College is need-aware. If you apply for financial aid as an international student, your level of financial need can be considered as part of the admissions process.
