Hi, I looked at your other threads so you’ve heard from others that some of your numbers are on the low side for competitive schools. CGS sounds like a great fit for you, however, given the reasons for your uneven high school record. Would you be willing to do the January start in the CGS Boston-London program?
@Oregon2016 Could you give me an explanation on what the CGS Boston-London program is? does it mean I dont start school during the fall?
Yes, from the BU CGS website. Northeastern has a similar foreign study first year admissions program I think. Many other schools are offering January starts (Middlebury and Cornell for example). You need to be fully informed about the CGS option before you apply, so make sure to read all the materials BU has put out on it. Maybe there is a thread on CC about it too.
