Boston University Transfers Fall 2018

Guys I’m gonna be honest all this stress about admissions is kinda making me resent BU

I think unless you are nowhere near what BU is looking for in admissions, you will not get rejected in the first round. The average transfer gpa is 3.5, that means some people get in with 3.0, 3.1, etc. If they deem your application is not strong enough, I think they will ask for a midterm report. Also, there are trolls online.

@TransferFall2018 I will call as JohnSmith12345

Very anonymous

ok so the person who posted the first wave rejection was lying? I honestly am so worried. I have a 3.6 gpa, which isn’t too great compared to what others have posted, and I didn’t get asked for midterms. I was one of the first to get 2 paragraphs on this thread. I have a bad feeling i was just thrown into the reject pile on first glance.

@Bostontransfer18

Which thread was it? I looked this morning frantically and didn’t find any rejections from 2016 or 2017 from next week. Maybe I missed it though

@Bostontransfer18 @TransferFall2018 Yes, I did not see any rejection in the 2017. You must’ve mistaken someone saying they’be been rejected because I saw a lot of post about how people THOUGHT they were rejected since they didn’t get results in the first wave and had 3 paragraphs.

I have been emailing a counselor at BU for a while and have developed a relationship with her. I asked her yesterday if they send out both acceptances and rejections the first few waves, and she said the majority are acceptances unless you are way below what they are looking for and just not qualified at all. Most rejections get sent out towards the end from what she told me

^ hope that clears up all this tension and stress for everyone haha

Holy crap! That is so excitingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!
Even though the GPA and ECs/essays/recommendations are all fantastic I am still paranoid about whether my courseload was impressive enough (Gen Ed business classes) and my high school GPA. I would be entering BU with 57 credits so maybe I shouldn’t be so nuts about it.

Anyone else see that the applicant portal is currently down/being updated? THEY’RE GETTING READY FOR US NEXT WEEK

The portal is being updated!!! But my portal still has 3 paragraphs this morning ):

It said that:

I read that sometimes when the applicant link goes down that decisions are up that same night

eh, I don’t think we’ll find out until mid April. Would love the surprise tho

I just joined CC, searching for information of BU.

I checked the portal few minutes ago and now, I am getting SUPER nervous!!! The portal is being updated!!

Somehow getting excited, bur somehow not :-/
Hoping the best for myself and also for all the other applicants!

Plus, I also think we would be able to check the status through the portal soon.

@msport I guarantee it will come out early April, if not even this month Good luck all, hope to see yall all make it.

might someone want to call and ask if we can expect to hear back today. usually once the link is down decisions are up the day after
