Gpa 3.7, 60 Credits, gamma beta phi member, women’s leadership, student government, applying for neuroscience program in Boston Univeristy. Chance me! Also anyone else applying for fall’17 or even Spring’18 ??

@shenaiya Hey you seem to have a pretty good chance getting in! What was your high school GPA?

Just sent my application
I’m currently a Freshmen at Suffolk University in the Sawyer business school applying for CAS in sociology for Fall 2017
My first semester GPA: 3.73
Current GPA: 4.0
High school was very low with a cumulative GPA of 2.7…

@nimomini so do you! My gpa was exactly 2.7 in high school as well. I went to a transfer session last Friday at BU to get more info on the school, they said 3.0 gets you in the applicant pool and with around 3.5 you have high chances of being accepted :slight_smile: Also as a transfer student the more credits you have the less they will emphasize on high school grades, lets hope for the best!

@shenaiya @nimomini I’m also applying. For Finance. Current GPA in state college is 3.92 with 60 credit. and my high school GPA is 2.1… Hahaha hopefully i get in. You guys seem pretty doing good.

@LinkandZelda @nimomini Fingers crossed!

Hey guys! I’ll actually be applying for Spring '18 but your feedback would be helpful! I’ll be majoring in Journalism and International Relations. I’ll have over 60 units by the time I transfer. BU is my first choice, but I’ll also be applying to NYU, George Washington University, University of British Columbia, Northeastern, and University of Texas–Austin. I’ve also been attending three different schools in order to get the right courses to transfer because I’ve been looking at the transfer course equivalency guide. I’ve taken primarily online classes and hybrid courses so I really really hope they all transfer over.

College GPA: 3.85 (trying to get up to a 3.9)
High School: 2.1 ( I know it’s very low)

Extracurriculars:

Please let me know what you think! I’m dying to go to BU! Any suggestions on how to improve my stats would be much appreciated! Also, why do you guys want to go to BU?

hahaha I just realized we all dd pretty bad in high school but we’re all doing great in college! So good job guys. I’m glad you all have turned your grades around!

@kcarson Hey! I think your stats seem really good I don’t think you’ll have issue with admissions at all. Are you currently at a community college or a state school? I am also thinking of transfering for the Spring’18 semester as well because it will work better for me! Best of luck, ill tag you to any spring’18 threads!

@shenaiya thank you soooo much for responding! I’m currently at community college. Please do tag me when it’s started.

Hey Guys,
I’ve applied to the Questrom school of Business for the Fall 2017. Does anyone know when the decisions come out?

@Kartikeyakatty It is rolling decision. The first wave of decisions came out last monday. I’m guessing tomorrow (monday) will be the next wave of decisions. Wish you luck!

Thank you. Did you get your decision yet? And what school have you applied to? @LinkandZelda

@Kartikeyakatty I haven’t gotten a decision yet. I applied early February and all document was in by then as well. I applied to Questrom.

@LinkandZelda oh okay. Have you applied as an entering Sophomore or a Junior?

@Kartikeyakatty If all my credits transfer, I’ll be entering as a Junior. How about you? Also, Is your Applicant Link indicating that your application is complete?

@LinkandZelda yeah same for me. if all the credits transfer then Junior.
The applicant link says the application Is complete and submitted.
And I’m just waiting for the decision now. What about you?

@Kartikeyakatty Mine updated recently to request for midterm grades. Did you send in midterm grades? Im almost positive that more people will hear back tomorrow. Probably around 10 am.

@LinkandZelda I sent in the common app mid term report which included my mid term grades. I’m so nervous for tomorrow .

@Kartikeyakatty Me too. If we don’t hear back tomorrow its all good. Its just mere speculation. You’ll most likely hear back very soon. Best of luck to you.
