<p>can someone help me?</p>

<p>Every year, kids transfer into and out of schools around the country. Every school. Big ones, little ones, urban ones, rural ones, prestigious ones, technical ones. Sometimes, a school doesn’t fit a kid and that may be for any reason imaginable. The annoying part is when kids who leave a school decide they need to hang around the boards to talk about their unhappiness. This also happens each year and it seems they often need to justify their unhappiness by trying to convince others that it’s the school’s fault. The worst was last year, but who knows what next year will bring?</p>

<p>lergnom im on the common app right now for boston u
i dont know how to apply to cgs
i really really wanna go</p>

<p>i have legacy at bu
my parents went there i love that school can u direct me as to how to apply on the common app plz man cuz its due today for regular decision
im only applyin to this school its my dream</p>

<p>well now you missed the deadline, but i’m pretty sure you have to apply to BU, and then if they don’t think you’re good enough for your school, they will refer you to CGS. This happens 80% of the time.
And I am suree there is a way to apply directly to CGS, just not sure. why do you want to be in CGS so badly?</p>

<p>my bad the deadline in jan 4th</p>

<p>does bu take january SAT scores?</p>

<p>i just think CGS is awesome</p>

<p>i hope i have a chance</p>

<p>please get back to me if they take jan SAT
or require SAT subject test</p>

<p>i wanna do cgs because it says CGS dont need subject test
like one of the schools at bu that dont need sat subject</p>

<p>Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought sending in ACT scores eliminated the SAT II requirements. Isn’t this true? or do I have to send in my crappy SAT II scores?</p>

<p>BTW, I received a 640 on Biology M and only a 570 on Math Level I. Should I send these in?</p>

<p>No, I never read that sending in ACT scores eliminates SAT subject test, as if that was true I would have applied to CAS instead of CGS.</p>

<p>sat4lyfe you indicate the college your applying to under the school supplement forum.</p>

<p>They do coolbrezze…it just takes a google search. Comon man.</p>

<p>Well I haven’t read that on their site, nor have you provided a link to what your saying… I would not suggest one to take information not provided from the school itself when speaking of admission requirements.</p>

<p>What ever motion12345 is talking about should at least be provided here:<a href=“http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/freshman/program-requirements/[/url]”>http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/freshman/program-requirements/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Unless something has changed in the last couple of years, BU has never accepted the ACT in lieu of subject tests EXCEPT in CGS…please post if you find this to be incorrect</p>

<p>Almost every single university that says it requires subject tests asks for subject tests + SAT I OR the ACT with writing…it even says on the page that coolbrezze himself posted (<a href=“http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/freshman/program-requirements/):%5B/url%5D”>http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/freshman/program-requirements/):</a></p>

<p>SAT and Two SAT Subject Tests </p>

<p>or</p>

<p>ACT (with Writing Test)</p>

<p>as admissions requirements for CAS, CoE, etc.</p>

<p>Yeah, totally agree with motion12345, the same policy is followed by other universities including NYU.</p>

<p>

In this quote I thought sat4lyfe is stating that one can send the SAT I and in addition the ACT to supplement the SAT II’s ( I guess the science portion on the ACT would be a supplement). I also thought motion12345 was stating that the ACT as a supplement for SAT II ( not as a supplement for SAT with SAT II’s) was true. </p>

<p>Yes, you can submit the ACT instead of SAT I with SAT II’s.</p>

<p>Coolbrezze…this would mean that you could have applied to CAS using your ACT…</p>

<p>^
Yeah…, which is why I knew that such a statement

was false.</p>

<p>What am I seeing here? your link did not go through…it depends on the program; in actuality, CGS recommends two subject tests? first I’m seeing that…CAS, COmm obviously now takes ACT in lieu…</p>

<p>

Oh jeez… I see what you mean now ( online and trying to finish other important material… hw)
Yeah I didn’t submit my ACT score to BU because I most definately wouldn’t of had a chance of admission. My SAT score range is 21-25 ( converted to ACT scoring) and thats not great either, my ACT score range is lower.</p>

<p>Rodney if the link is correct you have to scroll down, information is listed in columns and rows. Testing requirements can be read to the far right of the table.</p>

<p>u guys i just went to the website</p>

<p>it says for CGS AND SEP</p>

<p>SUBJECT TEST ARE (RECOMMENDED)
U DONT HAVE TO SEND THEM IF U DONT WANNA
IM JUS SENDIGN MY sat 1</p>

<p>but for other bu colleges look it says sat subject and </p>

<p>did u guys look carefully
i said u dont have to send subject testsssssssss</p>

<p>Almost every single university that says it requires subject tests asks for subject tests + SAT I OR the ACT with writing…it even says on the page that coolbrezze himself posted (<a href=“http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/f...equirements/):%5B/url%5D”>http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/f...equirements/):</a></p>
