Boston Transfer Thread Fall 2015

@transfer009 According to BU Financial Assistance website

Students applying for Boston University financial aid are required to submit income verification documentation to verify income information provided on the PROFILE and FAFSA, even if you elect to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when you complete your FAFSA.

Applicants who received need-based aid, other than a Federal Stafford Loan (subsidized or unsubsidized), in the prior academic year are required to submit their income documents through the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC) portal. All other applicants must submit income documentation directly to BU Financial Assistance.

thank you! @nodoubt . Also, I talked to admissions today and they said decisions will start to come out anytime within the next few weeks on a rolling basis but wouldn’t reveal a specific date

looking back at last years transfer thread, the first group of people would be notified tomorrow on their admission decision.

it looks as if they release some decisions before exactly mid-april.

I hope people start to find out soon! I forgot how much I hate this waiting game from senior year of high school…

has anyone called and asked if they would start today?

I was looking through the thread from Fall 2014 Transfers and it looked like a bunch of decisions were released on April 10th…today would be April 10th…hmm…

Hey all I just got accepted to BU!!!

did you get an email notifying you?!

Congrats!! Can you tell us your stats and when did you complete your app?

@transfer099 @WSneijder I completed and submitted my application on February 26. I just went on the applicant link to check. BEST OF LUCK!!!

here are my stats:

Highschool:
-GPA: (from what I remember) around a 3.7/5.0 scale (I was top 18% of my class and primarily took honors and AP courses)
-Leadership positions: Student Body President, NHS Treasurer, Speech and Debate Co-President (also a captain for 3 years), Co-founder and VP of French Club
-ACT: 30
-Activities: Speech and Debate (all four years), student council (all four years), NHS (sophomore-senior year), French Club (junior-senior year), theatre (junior-senior year)

My Common App essay talks about my experiences growing up as an Arab-American in a post-9/11 world and how I’ve used my negative experiences to help shape me as an individual and were influential in my social activism and involvement in my community.

College:
-GPA: 3.8 (I took 15 credits my first semester)
-Activities: Student government, leadership program, social justice clubs/orgs (I won’t name them since they have my university’s name in them).
-I’ve been heavily involved in speaking out on social justice issues that have risen on campus, nation wide, and globally. Several articles have been published quoting my statements and activism.

just got accepted too! I didnt get an email, just logged in to check!

accepted to sargent! congrats everyone!

accepted to SMG! yeah i didnt get an email either.

@transfer099 I also was accepted to Sargent! what are you majoring in??

question actually…did anyone’s decision disappear off of their applicant link? this has me a little worried…maybe they didn’t mean to post them yet?

Yeah, mine did too.

I just emailed admissions, I will keep anyone else with this issue posted. @hockeyfan95

@transferyas319 @JLM1234 @transfer099 @sickjor @hockeyfan95

Congrats to you all!!!
However, I didn’t see anything on my Applicant Link, I am really nervous and worried rn. Hope I would be accepted!

So i called and they said that they are planning to release decisions soon, and we will receive an email update when they do. She said that IT may have been running a test, and thats why the decision was available for a short period of time. I asked if being accepted earlier was any indication as to if i actually am accepted, and she said she cant confirm anything. Hopefully the decision that was shown was the actual one!
