oh god the wait is killing me!!
The wait is killing me too! I still haven’t heard back. Applied early February, app complete mid Feb. If anyone is wondering my stats:
High School:
GPA: 2.1 weighted (yes I’m definitely not proud of this, addressed this in the essay)
All AP and honors courses
College:
State college
GPA: 3.95 out of 4.0 (transferring with 60 credit, Junior Standing. 4.0 for 3 semesters)
Rec: 2 letters from Previous Professors
EC: Deans’ Office Assistant, 2016 Presidential Campaign Volunteer, RA’s Program Assistant, Part time work at Restaurant, Church Activity Organizer
Mid-Term was requested from me recently, straight As on my midterm report.
Hopefully they can look past my high school performance and give me a shot. I wish you guys best of luck! Hopefully we find out soon.
@kabh398 Source for that?
hey guys!!
I got accepted two days ago too into CAS for Political Science, but I didn’t submit a midterm report at all!!
I had a 3.5 in high school, and I listed about two extracurriculars from high school.
COLLEGE GPA: 3.4. I’m a part of 3-4 clubs, and I’m currently a STEM major.
I’m not in the Honors program of my college though.
I also submitted two recommendations from my professors which were extremely hard to get because I go to a really large school similar to BU, so I think that’s what really sealed the deal, a long with my essay.
Good luck guys!
I’m wondering if anybody has been rejected yet. Or is this early wave of decisions all acceptances. It sure seems that way looking at this forum.
Does anyone know if we’ll be hearing some decisions today?
Ahh this wait is killing me, and my ApplicantLink still shows that my extra materials haven’t been received! I’m calling again today to ask about this giant processing delay because I am quietly flipping out haha.
@porcelyn same here. I’m waiting for my midterm to be processed. I wouldn’t imagine that they would have a processing delay at this time because application period should have quiet down. But I don’t know. Let me know what they say on the phone. When did you sent it in? By mail or email?
@porcelyn @LinkandZelda So I submitted my mid year report yesterday, and my application portal now says I have everything in and that my application is marked complete. But thennn I called this morning and they told me that it still has to be processed (and then they said all the stuff about waiting 2 weeks). Lol I’m going to go crazyyyy
@Calliefornia20 meanwhile I sent mine in on Monday and my application portal still hasn’t updated.
@LinkandZelda @Calliefornia20 I literally just got off the phone with BU Admissions and the woman I spoke to was very helpful. I had explained to her that I physically mailed in some documents over a month ago and she said that it’s odd that they haven’t been received yet. I then told her that I resent all the documents last Monday (March 27) and she said to give it another week. She said that with transfer applications it’s not uncommon to have things get lost in the mail or whatever, so she basically told me to sit tight and they’ll let me know if anything’s amiss. She also said that, at least in my case, if my mailed materials are processed within the next week, I would have to wait another 2-3 weeks for a decision, but she did say that I’m on track to receive a financial aid decision with my admissions decision if I am accepted. It’s understandable that things happen and things to missing but this is killing me, especially since one of the colleges I applied to has already accepted me and they need a decision by May 1st! (However, they were my last choice anyway.)
I wish you guys luck and hope you get admissions decisions very very soon! I’ll keep checking this thread throughout the next month probably haha.
anyone hear today?
Nope
. No news for us either. The website has been saying that the application was complete and credentials accurate to date for severall weeks. We sent everything before March 1st except the mid-term, second week of March, and CSS profile first week of March, corrected one week later. And despite this, the application was considered complete. We accepted the fact that we will probably hear from them late April because of the CSS profile and mid term sent mid March after all. We are wondering if we will hear by Emerson College before BU.
And we did not send any syllabus !
the acceptance rate for fall 2016 transfers was 23% and this year is more competitive.
@kabh398 can you please link where you got that data from? Thanks!
@catlalib I actually just got accepted to transfer to Emerson last Thursday (March 30)! So they were sending acceptances before BU.
Is anyone else checking their applicant link every 2 minutes?. Because I’ve been doing that since Monday and it’s giving me headaches lol Knowing my luck I wouldn’t be surprised if I have to wait until May
Does anyone else’s applicant link still shows outstanding documents?
And guys i think they release decisions in waves, and I’m guessing the next wave will hear back on friday or monday.
