Boston University-Fall 2019- Transfer

@penntousc Thank you for answering me!

ACCEPTED TO QUESTROM BABY

@jonskywalker when did you get your result?

Hi! Can someone chance me? I’m super anxious to hear back lol

I am a second semester sophomore and have a 3.81 GPA (straight A’s for the past two semesters). I went to UMass Amherst in the honors college for 3 semester but this semester I am taking classes at a local community college for health reasons (documented). I am a legal studies major with a major GPA of 4.0. I was also deputy events director for the University Democrats, Vice President of Political Advocacy Council, and reporter for a school newspaper. I have 2 stellar letters of recommendation from professors in my major and a letter of rec from the head of honors. I have volunteered on several political campaigns including Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, etc.
My high school record is pretty mediocre because I was going through family problems. I had a 3.3 GPA and a 1200 on the new SAT. I was president of the Junior Rotary Interact Club and lead attorney of the Mock Trials team.
I applied as a sociology major

Thanks in advance!

anyone know when the next wave of decisions will be released?

@dh1230 hey! I myself am applying as a transfer and have not received a decision yet but I think your extracurriculars were great, you also had 3 stellar letters of recommendations, ur gpa is also well in the range of most of their transfer applicants. If you scroll through this thread, many people were accepted with slightly lower GPAs and not as good extracurriculars, I think you have the credentials but also in the end, I think luck plays a small factor in the process so best of luck to you! Anxiously waiting for my decision as well :neutral:

Has anyone didn’t send sat score but got acceptance?

Just recived my acceptance into COM for Film and Media Production!!

@ThankGod1 what time did you receive an email ?

@christyliu Yes. Once you take college courses the SATs don’t matter as much as they are used as a way to predict how well you will do in college. Though if you only have one semester under your belt they may look at it or want to look at it. I never sent in mine, still waiting. But, I know someone who has already been accepted without sats( they have 4 full college semesters completed)

anyone whos applied for CE or CSE got a response yet?

anyone know if they’re releasing more decisions today?

@Stacy19 I didn’t receive an email. I checked my BUPortal last night at random and saw they posted my decision. I found out by mistake at around 4:00am

im at 2 paragraphs, just changed today

what is the difference between the paragraphs on the portal page? mine just dropped from 3 to 2.

Hoping I get in!!

i got my decision the same day it turned to 2 paragraphs

@jonskywalker do you know how long after?

@jonskywalker
And did you get an email saying that they made the decision or did it just go up on the portal without an email?

Just got moved to two paragraphs, applied a couple days before the deadline and got a mid-term grade report just before the last wave came out. Fingers crossed for a new decision wave soon!
