Boston University-Fall 2019- Transfer

I was just wondering to all those who got accepted today , did they all have two paragraphs? Anyone with three paragraphs got accepted today?

@penntousc I feel like that can’t be it, @kbot9929 mentioned she applied mid-march and was already accepted. I, myself, applied on the first of March and still haven’t heard back yet.

@Suzzyy I’m not sure, I wasn’t the one that was told that but someone else in here said they were being released based on date—I applied on 1/30 :neutral:

@KojouAndYukina oh yeah I know, I’m pissed

@kbot9929 @estabrooka did you guys have two paragraphs before you got your decisions?

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if they are having the same issue? I got an email today at 3:12 pm saying “The Board of Admissions has reached a decision on your application for admission to Boston University” and it instructed me to log in to my portal to see the decision. There’s a big banner when I log in that says “congratulations” and it tells me to click the box to view my admissions decision. Well, when I click on the damn box it brings me to a page that says “Thank you for applying to Boston University.
First-year student decisions are now available.
Transfer student decisions are being released on a rolling basis.”
Same thing when I click on “view decision” in the top bar.
I’m probably splitting hairs here, why would they put the big congratulations on my portal if I didn’t get in… but I’m a worrier and I just want to be able to see the official letter before I tell my family in case this is a mistake. Congrats to everyone that got in and best of luck to everyone that has not heard yet!

@nervous523412 I have the exact same issue. I got the email around 2:30 today, and I got the congratulations thing on my myBU, too. but if I click view decision it doesn’t show me. I am so glad that I’m not the only one and also sorry about that. I’m going to call the Office tomorrow to ask what that means.

For those who were accepted, how long after your portal changed to 2 paragraphs, did you receive your decision? My portal just changed to 2 paragraphs today

accepted! did anyone receive the community service award? i was hoping to receive it since i graduated from a boston public high school but i didn’t and im practically paying full tuition

@bruce214 if u don’t mind sharing how much are u paying? And did they not offer u any need-based scholarships or did u not qualify for those? Also, how did you get ur financial aid information so quickly. Haven’t been accepted yet, but these are all part of my concern, help a brother out, thanks!

@KojouAndYukina im paying around like 68k. they didn’t offer anything need-based bcuz i didn’t qualify for it. my financial aid and estimated expenses was already shown on my portal after my acceptance, but the thing is i can’t see it anymore for some reason. im hoping its bcuz they’re making changes to it.

Still no decision listed, any idea as to when the next wave should be? Also is it a good bet that honors is out of the picture if I haven’t heard back?

I just called admissions… they told me decisions will be out mid april…

Accepted to CAS!!!

Anyone else accepted but not able to view their financial aid decision?

@rbfall2019 when did you get the 2 paragraphs?

Wanted to get on here to let everyone who got accepted know to call BU Admissions and give them your BU ID info so they can relay it to their tech guys. I just called and said that they’re trying to fix the glitch by today so we can see the decisions and everything, hopefully by the end of today or tomorrow.

Any other junior transfers on here?

Got accepted to COM!!

Same here, I just spoke with them and they said there was a “glitch”. I was able to access my acceptance letter only once and haven’t been able to since. Now it just shows me the “decisions are coming out on a rolling basis…” even thought it already told me I was accepted? I took a picture though; so if they try and revoke my acceptance in this “glitch” or pull something funny I got proof lol. Also a Junior transfer for COM ?‍♀️
