Boston University Transfers Fall 2018

Guys I just realized that BU is closed on Monday because of Easter so odds are we won’t be hearing back on April 2nd maybe later that week than.

@festivalgirl would you mind sharing your stats? like high school gpa, college gpa, and how many credits you will be going in with?
i have the 3 paragraphs as well :confused:

@BostonLover856 wait really? Why? I thought non-denominational schools were open the day after Easter (mine is, anyway)

@BostonLover856 BU doesn’t have an easter break, so they aren’t closed Monday

@koreanincali Hey! I replied a few days ago with the stats but I’ll copy & paste them again for you here:

College:
-I go to Emerson College (freshman). Last semester I got a 4.0, this semester I’m expecting a 3.8 (I have a hard law class and my Econ teacher hates me). I applied to Questrom for the pre-law program. I want to mix some classes together because I want to be a music attorney (stated in application).

Have completed 16 credits (1st semester), currently working on another 16 now (second semester), so 32 at the end of the school year.

HS:
-Private all girls school, they didn’t rank in percentage, 3.7 GPA and received full IB Diploma
-Testing: didn’t take SAT, scored 28 ACT (combined) ((I know some colleges combine, some don’t?)
-Captain of varsity tennis for 3 years, 3 years choir, 2 years advisory board member in major nearby city for music scene (meetings counted as volunteering, so over 100hrs for sure)
-managed musicians/booked gigs in nearby city
-worked typically 30 hrs a week with children

I just heard back from an internship from a big consulting firm and landed it, should I send BU the offer letter even though I only have 2 paragraphs?

Guys I doubt we’ll be hearing next week since the portal says mid-April. I feel like the first wave will be hearing back on the 9th.

But on the two paragraph message it says decisions will be released starting in April on mine.

@Bostontransfer18 people started hearing back like April 2-4th the past few years. my cousin got in on the 3rd last year

Wow my mom told me they were off the Monday after Easter guess not lol

Sorry for the wrong information she was looking at the break for BC not BU

Honestly at this point we should just sit tight. Take a mental vacation for a week LOL

@BostonLover856 its fine no worries:)

Just emailed admissions a copy of my offer letter for my internship. Hopefully it helps

Hi everyone! I just got this 2 paragraph on the portal. I saw some of you got this message earlier previous week. Will they post decisions on rolling basis or not? Good luck all.

When we get admissions results, accepted or denied, we should specify if we had a 2 or 3 paragraph message since I know we’re all constantly checking. That way, future threads can relieve panic and maybe we’ll find the correlation.

@yankeebanger hi! would you mind sharing your stats? like high school gpa, college gpa, and how many credits youll be going in with

It’s strange that my portal is two paragraph, but it actually means the same with the three paragraph one.

@mailbu nah, you have the three paragraph one like I do - you forgot a line break. Yours reads as:

"Our records indicate that you have applied to the Questrom School of Business for the September 2018 semester. If this information is not correct, or if you would like to change the college or school of application, please call BU Admissions during regular business hours.

@msport Yea, so it’s still the three paragraph one without the line break on my portal. Maybe we are not in the first wave and need to wait further.
