Boston University Fall 2017 Transfer

Is there a minimum number of credits to be able to transfer to bu? If yes how much??

Does anyone have advice on appealing financial aid? I was only given 15k :confused:

@TinaEng 15k of merit or need based?

Need based I didn’t receive merit nor work study

@TinaEng when did you hear about FinAid ? Did you receive an email ? On the portal there are Decisions, Invitations, Next steps, Application Status: where does the FA notification appear ? How long did it take to hear back from FA admin ? By the way, congrats on you acceptance. Stating to get impatient there. The wait is very long ! Sorry for this succession of questions. I hope you’ll find a way to appeal.

I checked my portal and it is under the decisions tab. It says financial assistance decision

Ok, thanks. This is what we do but there’s only Admission decision and Tranfer credit Evaluations. So I guess we still need to wait.

My applicant link changed from three paragraphs to two!

Welp… I’m still waiting, still 3 paragraphs. Bu, let’s get this decision rolling!

Ndgogo congrats from now, I’m still waiting.

@redpucca No ! I was surprised I received my decision without asking.
@Ftewrbewr About two weeks ago I had everything checked off, but I sent everything around March.
@koreanincali 3.7 GPA in college, 3.3 GPA high school, I speak three languages and was head of the student council in high school. My SAT was not great, but I had a pretty strong essay!

Hey everyone! I am admitted as a guaranteed transfer at BU for fall 2018. i’m currently a senior in high school and will attend University of Washington for my freshman year. UW is a quarter system, so I am worried about losing credits when I transfer them to BU. I’ve checked the transfer equivalency guide and picked classes based on that, but will they transfer to BU as a full 4 credits? Is anyone else transferring from a quarter-system school? Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Anyone here waiting for a decision to the college of engineering???

I just got admitted into the Questrom School of Business!

Why didn’t everyone receive the transfer mid-term report before? I received it what does it mean? possibly that they didn’t think that my application was strong enough to get me in??

@Ftewrbewr I don’t know what it means but they requested midterm report from me too. That’s was over a month ago. I sent them in and still haven’t heard back.

same, the 3 paragraphs saying my application is complete appeared on wednesday… and im still waiting for an answer

when did your applicant link receive all the files? @LinkandZelda

@Ftewrbewr they received my midterm and marked it off my Applicant Link almost 3 weeks ago. It’s been complete since then

Let’s hope we get an answer soon!
