my family does the same thing with grades. I'm expected to do well and I get nothing for performing 'correctly'. If I do badly, I'm grounded for weeks and told that my boyfriend, my car, and my entire life is now changing.
Congrats on getting into BU. Try "bargaining" with them. If another school gave you more $, approach BU and show them in black and white that another school is willing to give you more, but tell them that they are you 1st choice. That way they'll open up your file and reconsider the offer. Remember they give a financial aid offer to a lot of students, but all of them do not attend, so BU might actually be able to give you more.

it's ridiculous how we're just expected to perform and then get freaked out on when we don't.
