Question…I just applied Oct 31, should I be worried if I had not gotten student portal or a confirmation email at least from BU?
@Kam2001 I hope it makes it better fingers crossed!
@jaz007 they’re definitely dealing with a lot right now but if you don’t get one by the end of this week I would call or email to ask what’s going on
@jaz007 If you’ve applied to BU before applying to transfer, you might already have a BU web account like me. Mine isnt working atm so I suggest you contact admissions about not receiving an email for your portal
@Joybox24 I had a prior one from RD and the password was not working so I just went through the process to make a new one and then I was able to get in.
so weird how we’re only on page 4 this time around last spring sem the forum would be up to page 20
@fran1234567 i know!!! I seriously think theres just less applicants this time around especially because of covid and it’s spring semester - no one wants to be on zoom!
Could make it harder to get in I hope not.
@jaz007 I don’t necessarily think so! They want students to be enrolled bc if students don’t enroll they lose money coming in!
@Kam2001 oh yeah I called BU tech support like twice and they were able to send my account info to the NSA (crazy, right?) and today my portal finally works. I applied to the CFA and my application status says it received all of the required application components and my portfolio. The account existed, I just didn’t have access to it now haha.
@ramily17 hopefully cheaper too bc I probably won’t be dorming if covid is still bad! Also idk if you saw what I said on I think the first page but applicants in the spring don’t go into their stats or whatever so they might be more lenient HOPEFULLY
@Joybox24 yay thats good! and ooh cfa i applied to the cas!
still haven’t gotten my portal I want to contact them, but I also don’t want to bother them
@jaz007 it takes about a week to get into your portal! don’t sweat it.
Random question but is anyone registering for classes at their current school next sem? I’m not sure what to do since I have no idea when I’m going to find out about BU…
@fran1234567 I’m running into that same concern because I am supposed to register for classes at my current school next week!!! and Idk what to do since I doubt I’m gonna have a decision and info about bu.
@fran1234567 I decided to fill out the semester classes anyways. Because you can always unenroll and if BU doesn’t work out you don’t want to be left with nothing you know? So I decided just to enroll anyways
Has anyone been having issue with BU receiving all the required documents? I still have quite a few outstanding when I know that other schools got them so not sure how BU hasn’t gotten them yet. And I know they said to wait two weeks for them to receive all documents and I applied a couple weeks ago but nothing has changed. Also, I can’t seem to upload any of my syllabi? The page is brings me back to the home page.
@karpem I would just call again and ask because they did the same thing for me for weeks and I applied like late September. The most you can do is just keep calling and making sure because they misplaced a bunch of my documents and I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t email or call etc.
For the syllabi, you clicked upload course syllabi? Maybe it’s just a glitch I heard people were having errors and stuff when they tried to get into the portal and stuff
So wait when do we think they’ll start sending out decisions? Nov 14th/15th? Also have we figured out what those “paragraphs” mean form previous rounds of transfer applicants?
