Boston university spring 2021 transfer

@Joybox24 last spring sem people found out nov 14/15 and any time past that time and I’m still not sure abt the paragraphs from older forums they said that it usually appears when your application status page is complete (I think? That’s how I interpreted it at least) and that when you have paragraphs that means they’re reviewing your application? Not entirely sure

@fran1234567 hmm interesting. Thanks for the info. Hopefully it’s consistent and we start finding out next weekend!

Oh and similarly to other people’s issues with overlapping college dates, I have to move out of my current college on November 19th for winter break, and then register for classes a month from then. So if I find out about BU before the 19th, I’ll know whether or not if I have to move all of my stuff out or keep everything in my dorm for next semester. Again, hopefully we can all find out in a timely manner to know what to plan for. Our colleges probably know how to accommodate for transfer students’ transition processes, so we shouldn’t have too much to worry about.

guys the portal is down!!!

Does anyone know if BU needs all financial aid info complete in order to make an admissions decision? I know not all schools do
I am still in a back and forth with the finaid department finding out about the last item on my list

@nontradishbish I don’t think so, I remember reading in the other threads that they would give them their financial reward after their acceptance if they didnt have anything

ahhhh i submitted everything a week ago and it says they haven’t received anything from me : ( giving me some anxiety

The portal is down and I read on the other forums thats usually an indicator that we will find out very soon!!! probably in a week or so

They just received a ton of stuff I sent into them so hopefully, they’ll get to all of you soon!

@ramily17 omg that’s so exciting but also nerve-wracking!

where do you guys go to school currently?

I saw they updated the portal as a few of my required items were received!

I remember seeing something on the other forums about BU asking for parent income for scholarship aid, did anyone else get that? It seems they received mine but I never submitted anything like that. I also read it was a huge indicator on if you were getting in as well!

@ramily17 wait really? we could find out in the next week or so? I mean I was anticipating it for around nov 14th/15th anyway but that’s so exciting ahhh!!

@Joybox24 yes nov 14th/15th is next weekend anyways!

@ramily17 what do you mean by them asking for parent income? Like emailing you and asking you directly? Bc they didn’t ask me specifically for parent income but I’m assuming that everyone got a mass email from the finaid office asking everyone to submit parent income forms like w-2’s and tax returns, at least I did get that email and that’s why I contacted them and submitted it through my portal

nov 14th/15th is when decisions come out? I haven’t gotten a single thing received by BU…

@jaz007 that’s we all think according to previous forums. I dont think everyone will find out on the 14/15 ofc I think its just going to start on those days and then continue on til the end of the month/beginning of december

anyone else get an email today that told you to submit syllabi even thought you already did.

@kam2001 I did as well. It probably was an automatic one
@jaz007 if you haven’t received anything from BU acknowledging your application then I would definitely reach out to them and verify they received your application.
I was worried about a different school that I didn’t hear from and it turns out there was a glitch and they didn’t download my application when I submitted it. If I didn’t reach out, they wouldn’t have known I even applied. Doesn’t hurt to check if you are worried.

@jaz007 definitely reach out its only really suppose to take about a week, and even then it takes them forever to add all of your stuff under received!
