Boston University Fall 2017 Transfer

BU killing me bruh

the wait is awful… im not sure how they’re doing it because i submitted my app. the last possible day.

Reading from past years’ forum, a few people requested to be on the early review short list and they heard back within days afterwards. If anyone is urgent and is in need of an decision (like another school waiting for deposit), it wouldn’t hurt to call to get on that list.

What do you think are my chances?! The deadline was a while ago, but I was allowed to apply a few days ago so I did.

Applied to School of Com

hey i asked to be on early review like last week and I have not heard anything… actually it may have been like monday or tuesday

has any1 heard back? why they take so longgggggggggg:(((((((

@financeguyjames did you call them and asked to be on the early review list? Or? If so what did they say?

yeah they did they said since I have to pay a deposit for another school they will… but it doesnt guarantee anything @LinkandZelda

Hey, I got accepted into one of my safe schools and their deposit deadline is on May 1.
I called BU and they said that the acceptances will be sent out from April through June.

What should I do?

@Heszam You should call back and asked to be placed on the early review list. From previous years once you ask to be placed on the list they usually get back to you in a couple of days.

Hey, I just got accepted this morning through my portal. I’m on the quarter system at a UC, and I sent them my winter quarter grades about a week and a half ago

thank you!

@UCtoUSC congratulations!.

hey since people have been mentioning early review lists; do all schools have these or just BU? Because I’m in the same situation as many others with the whole waitin on decisions issue (accepted to CAS at BU but waiting for other schools/fin aid pkgs to come out).

Do you think i can call/email a school and ask to be put on an early review list bc I need to respond to my BU fin aid decision by May 1?
Thanks!

They finally processed my midterm report. My applicant link shows that my application is now complete. I wonder how long after this I’ll hear back.

@igotsunshine111 I think you have nothing to lose by giving a phone call explaining your situation. I don’t know if all the schools have an early review policy, but you can definitely ask when the financial aid info will be available.

Questrom School of Business people,
did any of you get accepted?

Hey everyone, I just got accepted to the questrom school of business.
I asked the admissions office to put me on early review yesterday and I received my acceptance today.

@Heszam how did you go about getting on that list? Did you call and asked directly to be on it or?

I don’t know whether I should call too. My current school requires a housing deposit may 1st as well, but I don’t wanna potentially lower or affect my chances of getting in by asking for early review.

@LinkandZelda I called and asked to be put on, they do it while you’re on the phone.
I don’t think they lower or affect your chances of in getting in.
I talked to someone I know who works for a college admission counseling company, and he said it didn’t.
