Email a letter to the financial aid office requesting more aid and explain your reasoning such as your EFC or some financial issue that can affect u in paying this amount. Also link ur financial aid counsellor if you got one after you were accepted.

it's a usual condition for admissions — if you start failing your classes you will be rescinded

how do they choose who to accept off an unranked waitlist for BU
whoever fits the same profile as the person who dropped out
austere needle
This is nitpicky but Not necessarily the same - someone who has the qualities that replace the qualities in class that they’re missing
for example. None of the admitted tuba players enroll and less people from the Midwest choose to enroll than they’d expected. A tuba player from the Midwest who’d love to go to Tufts is pulled from the waitlist
fervent hazel
yeah thats a much better explanation
