Hey everyone! I applied to transfer as a sophomore and I was reading last years threads to figure out when we would hear back. The first wave of decisions come out the first Monday in April!! (According to last years transfers)
Didn’t they extend the app deadline to March 15th? I feel like that would make them send out the decision later. Did anyone read anything about the 2 paragraph/3 paragraph stuff from last year’s thread?
Yeah I think if your application status goes from 3 paragraphs to 2 it means that admissions is currently reviewing your application.
Does anyone have 2 paragraphs yet?
what does it mean by 2 paragraph? I don’t get it. Can anyone explain? Thanks
Right now on your BU portal under the application status section there are probably 3 paragraphs. The first should be about what school you applied to, the second paragraph either says ur application materials are all in or you need to submit something, the third should says BU might ask you for additional materials. According to last year’s thread when admissions is reviewing your file these 3 paragraphs will change to just 2 paragraphs.
@Ryguy201 I got it. Thank you!
@ajsaxton how do you know they delayed the application due date?
@Ryguy201 I got an email about it saying they extended the date to March 15th for transfers
Hey guys, I don’t know what my insight will count for, but here is some knowledge I have: My girlfriend has a friend that was recently accepted to Georgetown University but denied from BU, applied for biology. My girlfriend was accepted to Northeastern but denied from BU, 3.87 GPA, great ECs also applied for biology. I was accepted to Northeastern University, waitlisted by Boston College (my top school) and waiting to hear back from BU, applied as a finance major to all 3 schools. I have a 3.9 GPA, thoughtful rec letters, phenomenal essays and great EC’s. I know somebody else who was denied from BC but accepted to BU. Northeastern, BU, and BC are all very close in competitive admissions aside from the financial factor, which program you’re applying to as well as the bit of randomness found in the admissions process. Good luck. Decisions that were released the other day were for freshman. Not too much longer! Stay strong.
Did anyone’s portal change from to 2 paragraphs yet?
Also even though I sent my college transcript a while ago, they didn’t process it until 2 days ago. Does this mean I probably won’t get my decision first week of April if that’s when they release the first wave of decisions?
wait was this from last year? Because this year’s northeastern decisions haven’t came out yet
Yeah I was accepted to Northeastern in the last cycle
@financeguy29 are transferring or you are a freshman?
Is anyone a freshman applying for sophomore year?
@sam127 I am!
@ajsaxton YAY okay just making sure I wasn’t the only one! I am really nervous that I will get denied because I have less experience as a college student. My high school GPA was trash but I currently have a 3.94 so I think its a toss up.
@sam127 I’m nervous too! I’m applying to the business school even though I currently study communications and I have not taken calc so we will see! I’m sure we will end up where we are meant to be
@ajsaxton I’m applying to CAS! Keep me updated on your status and if your portal changes from 2 paragraphs to 3! Hoping for the best
@Coopy1 Transferring!
