But I wasn’t a good student in high school. Most of my grades in high school are D and E.

Can anyone give me feedbacks for my stats? I am pretty nervous right now since I don’t know how the admission evaluates my performance in my high school.

  • graduated

I think they are pretty good. Ur HS is long gone. U have 68 credits. How do u think they will value more last 2 years or before that? Relax. You got this

Impressive ECs and Work exp. I think you dont have anything to worry about. Where else did u apply?

Berkeley Haas, NYU Stern, USC Marshall

I got the interview from Haas, but my interview is horrible

I don’t think I can get in to Haas

They are reviewing my English Proficiency Exam waiver request. They said they are going to review all of my docs and tell me to result next week

I did Marshall too. Good luck man

Well it looks like you have a very impressive resume! I would say you have a great chance of getting in. Don’t be too hard on yourself, interviews are tough and nerve racking and the admissions committees know that. They will look at all of your accomplishments and be very impressed. Good luck!

does anyone know if BU gives merit scholarships to transfers? I saw on their website a few different ones but they were all for people transferring from specific Boston community colleges and I’m out of state.
