Boston University Fall 2021 Transfer

Did you finish the GE requirements for Marshall?

Thank you for the encouragement! Would you mind to share your stats?

Yes (2 in progress). Just those left which are supposed to be completed after the transfer

I applied to BU this year for public relations at the school of communication. My high school stats weren’t the best, I had a 3.33 GPA but I took lots of honors/AP courses and had a ton of extracurriculars. I didn’t submit any SAT scores because they were just not the best. Right now I am a freshman at Syracuse University and I currently have a 3.7 GPA out of 4 and made the deans list! I’m involved in a lot of organizations on campus and I am taking a ton of GE courses right now and I feel like my essays and recommendations were really good. I’m hoping they look more at my freshman year at college rather than my high school grades.

I don’t actually know the public relations in BU, but I hope you all the best!

Does anyone know why BU will ask you about the preferred residence during the first year in Common APP?

I think probably so they can know if u want an on campus residence or not. If not they can offer it to someone else who needs it or smth

Is the checklist still there for u guys or am i the only one

mine finally went away yesterday even though all my materials were submitted before the original deadline

Did anyone apply to go to the BU Wheelock School of Education?

Does anyone have an issue to upload the course syllabi? I have successfully uploaded all of my courses, but the “History of Uploaded Courses/Syllabi” didn’t show all the courses that I uploaded. Maybe I uploaded too many courses.

Not for me. I uploaded 18 syllabus

I’m also transferring from Syracuse but as a sophomore! Good luck!

How does the portal look for you guys?

Thats so awesome! Thank you so much! If you don’t mind me asking, what school at Syracuse are you transferring from?

I’m transferring from Maxwell and I’m a double major in poli sci and international relations

I uploaded 28 courses including the lab classes

are they not showing up? If they are not all showing up, I would contact BU admissions and maybe ask what to do. They might let you email your syllabuses to them instead if your syllabuses aren’t showing up in the portal.

Maybe try uploading them one by one if they don’t show up in a few days? I know they said that the system might not register them all if you post several at once (if that makes sense)

I’m a freshman at Syracuse applying to transfer from Maxwell as well!
