Boston University-Fall 2019- Transfer

Can any of you who got decisions already share what time completed your applications? I am wondering if that is the reason some of us still haven’t heard results yet.

@inlalaland call admissions. max hold time is 10minutes.

Just got accepted!! I was so worried since my high school kept sending the wrong transcript. Any idea how to check my financial aid package? When I click on application status for FA, nothing has been updated yet

@zs2019transfer how did you appeal ? Who did you send the letter to? We are trying to appeal but I’m not sure how to do it. Thank you in advance

@zyjbbbb I submited mine 2/28, basically the day before it was due

@whereto2022 mine was about the same, but I appealed and im waiting to hear back.

I submitted my syllabi when I was accepted about a week and a half ago, but still have nothing on my portal. Should I call them to see what’s up?

@whereto2022 i appealed my financial aid too… update me on what happens for you! +I know someone who transferred to BU and her credits were still being reviewed in August so just know it’ll take forever for them to review/update. (I sent mine 2-3 months ago and nothing yet)

@whostolemycookie congrats on getting accepted! Your FA decision should be out soon. possibly w/in a week!

@whereto2022 we are trying to appeal too, Should we give them a legit reason other than we simply can not afford?

Anyone still waiting for decisions? -_- I’ve been refreshing the portal page for 100000 times today

@Coopy1 Definitely. In my letter I wrote about how my financial circumstances would change with me leaving the house and going off to school. Im hoping to get more, but don’t really know if it’ll work. When I called the financial aid office they kept emphasizing that there needs to be extenuating circumstances or errors in the initial documentation.

@transferto2022 I’m also appealing my FA award. Who are we supposed to address the letter to? Also what documents are you including?

considering how long they’ll take transferring credits, i assume to expect signing up for the shitiest classes

@rbfall2019 I would call the financial aid office and ask for the attention name. I don’t want to reveal her name. But you would type it up and send it as an email or attachment to bu admissions email!! I haven’t attached any documents. I assume they have my tax return still and if they ask for more I’ll send em!

@transferto2022 send it to BU admissions or to their financial aids department?

@Coopy1 send the appeal letter to admissions and they’ll forward it to whoever’s in charge.

@transferto2022 thank you

I just got my credits updated. I submitted mine in January and February so that should give you all an estimate of when credits will be updated.
