Boston University Guaranteed Transfer Class of 2022

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

I’ve been given the guaranteed transfer option to attend BU Fall 2019 as long as I attend another accredited university for two semesters with a 3.0+ GPA for freshman year.

Pros:
I’m going to a university 1 hour away from my home for freshman year. It’s cheaper and closer. It will determine if I’m ready to live faraway from home during my college years. Also, maintaining a 3.0+ GPA is cake. I still have a chance to attend my dream university: BU.

My question is whether or not I’m considered BU Class of 2022 if I accept this GT offer? Are GT’s looked down upon? Did anyone else have this? If so, what’s your feelings about it? And when does GT students hear about financial aid?

You will be part of the Class of 2022 once you transfer next year, not now. No one will know you are a guaranteed transfer unless you tell them. From the RD decision thread here on CC it seems that half the denied students were offered the guaranteed transfer option.

hey, who else is choosing GT to bu next fall? It would be nice to get to know a few people.

does anyone know how many people are offered GT to bu? and how many people usually take the offer?
