Boston University-Fall 2019- Transfer

@bvbchamps I’d recommend checking spam or other folders for the email; it was listed under either “Social” or “Promotions” on my gmail and I almost never saw it. I submitted my app on 1/28 and received the BU portal email on 1/30, so I would recommend emailing them if you don’t hear back by friday.

Guys, I just submitted my BU application.
Currently from a Top 40 (US News) university wish to transfer to an university in a larger city.
GPA: 3.5
Strong EC
1500+ SAT and 5 SAT2 750+
Lower high school grade
International student

Will the high school grade affect my chances?

@kcasssuu BU just looks at your college stats!

My daughter transferred into Questrom in fall of 2017. Loves it there but the workload can be brutal. I think her extracurriculars (leadership positions in club sport, greek life and student government) and strong recommendations from profs at her prior university helped push her over the edge. Best of luck everyone… Boston is an amazing place to be when the sports teams are winning championships every 3 months lol.

@CTvbDad also applying into Questrom here, but I’m coming from a school without a business school, did she find the transition to Questrom specifically to be challenging or more BU as a whole?

Does anyone know who I’m supposed to ask to fill out my college report? I went to my college’s registrar and they told me they don’t fill out forms or email anything, so I’m confused where to get my report filled out.

@dsdarling17 try finding the dean for your academic department. If that doesn’t work, just send an email to registrar and tell them you need someone with the clearance to access disciplinary records to complete that form for you so that you can apply

@dsdarling17 i went to my academic advisor and they filled out everything for me

Guys, I’m a Sophomore at Questrom who recently transferred last semester. If you have any questions regarding transfer app or BU, feel free to ask. I’d love to help. Good luck with apps and hope y’all get in.

do you feel like it was your gpa or extracurriculars that got you in

where do you send high school transcripts?

Hey everyone!! Do you guys know if BU can accept you for a different major if they do not accept you for your first choice?

How many days later did u guys get ur portal login after summiting your common app?

^Same question. Submitted my application 2/22 and haven’t received any portal login info yet.

@user22101 @norcagh I submitted my app on 1/28 and received the portal email on 1/30

It takes 2 business days

Did anyone send a mid term progress report? I didn’t

@ajsaxton you’re at midterms already? I’ve still got two more weeks

@jonskywalker my gpa was around 3.5-3.6 from a 2nd tier public uni. I didn’t have much involvement on campus either. Tbh idk how I got in but I did. BU also covered my entire cost. This shows that admissions process is very random.
