Boston university transfer fall 2020

Hey guys, I am a current freshman at TCNJ. I am going to apply to BU SAS for Fall 2020, let’s start this discussion to post Stats and keep each other updated!

Why would you transfer to BU?

Global professors, amazing psychology program, huge amounts of research, Boston’s accessibility.

…And huge debt. Not worth transferring. Go to BU for your masters if you must but you should finish undergrad at TCNJ.In addition. Potential employers who see your transfer on your resume will wonder why you transferred and not necessarily view it positively.

Whatever perceived advantage you think you’re getting is NOT worth the additional cost, unless you are wealthy and have money to burn

I would only attend on the condition that I receive the package that I get at TCNJ. If they don’t match, its a no.

Taken from the BU Transfer Applicants page:
“Previous applicants
If you previously applied and were denied admission to BU, you may reapply only after completing one full academic year of coursework elsewhere. If you were offered but did not accept admission to the College of General Studies, you can reapply to the College of General Studies after one semester of coursework elsewhere.”

I applied as a first-year student to BU during my senior year of high school and was rejected.
I am currently a freshman student at a CUNY and I’m almost finished with my first semester.
Does this mean that I cannot apply until I am a sophomore (completed a full year as a freshman at my current institution)?

I am a freshman and I believe they meant that we may come to BU after we complete a year. So sophomore year we could be allowed to attend. I could be wrong, I’ll have to give them a call tomorrow! I’ll get back to you.

I called today, we can apply as freshman.

I’m applying to transfer in during fall 2020 too! What GPA do we shoot for?

@smutransfer 3.3 minimum. If you are currently a freshman they will look at your high school stats/SAT-ACT scores too.

Anyone know how long does it take to received the portal from BU after submitting on Common App?

Applying CAS from California CC. I have my portal but every single material says it’s unreceived still.

@california203 When did you submit your application?

@transferr2020 March 1
