They might be getting to ppl who applied for financial aid first bc that whole process might take longer. I didn’t apply for aid and I’m coming from a top 20 school with a 3.8 gpa and I’m a legacy. I was hoping that was enough!!!
You could be right! I didn’t apply
For aid either and it seems as if everyone else who already got a response did.
JUST GOT ACCEPTED:)
Did they send you an email?
Yes. I got an email at 5:30. I sent in my midterm grades on Thursday so I feel like that played a role.
CONGRATS! did you apply to cas?
Thank you and no Questrom…
Thank you for letting me know! Wish you the best at Bu!
Hey y’all just wanted to put in my cent. I was accepted to BU on 4/15 and decided to join the transfer Facebook group. There’s currently 550 members in the group. Last year BU accepted around 1800 transfers.
There’s definitely more acceptances on the way. So don’t worry
I went to an admitted students online event and they said this was the largest applicant pool and that they plan on welcoming 850 transfers this fall.
Also, I applied late along with my financial aid and I was accepted on the first wave. I think it is all random
BU’s yield for transfers is around 39.5% so if they are welcoming 850 they will have to accept at least 2,125 students.
I haven’t posted in here yet, but I just got accepted into Questrom! I submitted all of my materials before 3/1, and I received an email today at 11:30am to log into myBU.
I’m transferring from a school in DC. Here are some stats if that’s helpful:
High School GPA 4.68 (weighted)
Ranked #3 in class
President of National Honors Society, Rep in Student Government, Varsity Tennis
31 ACT, 3 SAT Subject Tests, 8 APs (4s/5s)
Undergrad GPA 3.64/4.0
Involved in student magazine and other clubs
My transfer essay just outlined my experience; it was pretty good but not super personal.
In high school, I was also accepted as a first-year to Questrom. Hope this helps!
@sky1017 are there going to be more online admitted student days?
I just got in at 11:30! Questrom My midterm grades just processed yesterday. Best of luck to you all!

hmmm I wonder if them not asking for midterm grades is a sign of rejection?
Sounds like everyone who have been accepted this week applied to Questroom.
I submitted my mid-term grades Friday and then Monday I think they were received because a new document was added to my portal however they are labeled as “Mid Year Grades”, are they displayed like this for anyone else? The phrasing is confusing me because a term and year are obviously different things.
They didn’t ask for my midterm grades but I sent them in because it seemed like everyone getting accepted had sent them in. I sent them in on Thursday and got in yesterday I would recommend sending them if you haven’t!
@eriddle yeah mine is also labelled as mid year grades.
Which school are you applying to?
