@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!!!

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?
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!
