Hi everybody,
My S is applying as a tranfer in Junior year. BU looks like a long-shot to him.
Major : Film
Current college : Bunker Hill CC, gen ed associate degree
college GPA : 3.75
HS GPA : 3.6 (vocational and technical HS : web design and programing)
He is bilingual French-American
EC’s in HS and now : 5 years in a dance company. Animation 2D and 3D at Lesley University. One summer class in Film production 1 at BU. 3rd semester at Emerson college in screenwriting, professional certificate.
Has two jobs, one regular as a manager in an ice cream shop, one irregular in a carwash.
Also applying at Emerson, Brandeis in Film. Applied and was accepted at Suffolk and Umass Boston in criminal justice.
He still needs to send the mid term report and the syllabi. But it looks like it is so much work to collect all syllaby that we are wondering if we should not wait the decision and send the syllabi one he knows if he has been accepted. Did you all send your syllabi ?
Good luck to everybody
@catlalib yeah I sent in some of my syllabi. However, I don’t believe it is necessary to send in before receiving decision. Knowing what credit transfer or not can help you a lot in term of determining whether to attend or not though. So it is suggested that you send it in. So by the time that the decision is avalible you may know what credit transfer so you can make an informed decision.

I just had an update on my Applicant Link asking me for midterm grades. Did anyone else get that.
@LinkandZelda The only update I’ve seen is pertaining to freshman applicants. You think we’ll hear back on Monday?
@LinkandZelda My son sent his mid term last week, it is part of the process. They have a link with a form that you print, then, you ask your teachers to fiil it out. They put your actual grade, a comment (optional), they put a date and sign. it took two weeks for my son to do this because one teacher was absent and he had to wait for the following week to gather all the info. My S sent this form by email I think.
@milklore It could be next week if it is like last year, but it is a rolling notification, so we can also wait until beginning of May I think.
Thank you! I applied on January 18th, but I think my application was completed on January 31st. What about you?
I’m hoping that we hear back on Monday since that’s when decisions have been released for the last five years or so.
is anyone else’s applicant link down. I can’t log into mine, it says “Connection refused”. Hopefully this means they’re releasing decisions soon or getting ready to do so.
Mine’s down too! I’m hoping for the same thing.
@coprice I keep on checking it hoping maybe I can get a sneak peak at my decisions early. The error message keep on changing but mine is still down.
I heard we might get decisions this week, is that true? The wait is killing me inside.
@Kenybanana yes it is true. If they follow the schedule for the past couple of years, they first wave of decisions should be out soon. If not tomorrow then this week.
Link is not down here. But I think my son won’t be accepted to BU. I don’t feel it. It’s his" reach school". So this would explain that they are working on releasing decisions and those who have a link down it’s a good sign. I saw pretty good stats here, so you should be ok. Crossing fingers for you. Tomorrow perhaps some of you will know. Best luck to all of you.
