@JoeDangit woah, you give me hope!! that’s awesome!
@TransferFall2018 @JoeDangit Would love to connect with you guys and everyone who got in. Maybe we could make a GroupMe?
Never underestimate the power of hope… it gives you crazy power… Hope can take you anywhere. It can help that group of rebels going on a balls-to-the-wall raid to steal the Death Star plans, to helping that kid in Montana transferring to their dream school. Never quit! Always hope!
@JohnSmith12345
That would be great, feel free to add me on facebook. I’ll send a PM of my name
@joedangit I applied for the same exact major and in Questrom just like you. Still have 3 paragraphs Congrats to you though! The suspense is killing me, so hard to hang in there
So I know that a bunch of people with the 2 paragraph portal received a decision on Monday afternoon. Did anyone receive a decision yesterday or today? I’ve had the 2 paragraphs for a weeks now so I assume I’m in the first wave as well. Are they releasing decisions every day this week or not?
Hang in there! You’re going to rock it like the time when I saw OneRepublic live! I know you will!!!
Hey to other fellow Boston uni admits how was ur financial aid broken down? Because my money was distributed as Boston University Grant and then I was offered loans. I was wondering if others had the same layout.
Oh and was everyone provided with their transfer credit evaluation because my entire page is empty although I submitted it at the end of February.
I had the same layout. I am currently appealing for more money. I got 46.7k so I doubt I am going to get anything more, but I am trying to cut that cost down as much as I can. Also, they did send me the credit eval. I am going to appeal the two courses they didn’t give me credit for and provide them with materials that may help my case for two that are pending.
@konjer15 I spoke to the BU Office of Undergraduate Admissions today in regards to the 2 and 3 paragraphs. They said that transfer students who have 2 paragraphs are under evaluation for an admissions decision, and it does not imply that they have been accepted.
@Sergozoria Oh, so 3 paragraphs mean they probably haven’t gotten to your application yet…
did you guys receive a financial aid offer with your decisions? I haven’t heard anything in regards to finances, and I’m really hoping that I at least get something
@t0pnotch yeah, unfortunately, applications are not sent for an admissions decision on a case by case basis. If that had been the case, some transfer applicants who submitted their application early and still got 3 paragraphs on their applicant link would’ve received an admissions decision this past Monday.
@Sergozoria The thing is that the 2 paragraphs means that your application has been reveiewed and thus you are getting your decision early. It’s been proven that most early decisions made are acceptance rather than rejections because why would BU reject so early on without looking at everything and asking for mid terms. Even BU worker said themselves the majority of first round decisions are acceptance and they only reject those who are out of their range. As a result of this we associate the 2P with early decision which is mostly acceptance.
Alright, do you happen to know if you can request to join the “early review list” now? Or does it open next month? After a couple of rounds came out.
@TransferFall2018 Great! I also am going to go through the appeal process through financial aid. I received $48k but I still can’t afford that with a single parent! Hoping they’ll offer us some more money if possible.Good luck with the course evaluation and financial aid! What year are you?
@JohnSmith12345 @TransferFall2018 @JoeDangit yoo include me as well!
At my current school I am a sophomore, looks like with the credit transfers I’d be a sophomore at BU too. (51 credits)
I’ll shoot you a PM!
I’m a little concerned because I’m a guaranteed transfer and I still have 3 paragraphs with all of my stuff in. I know I’ll end up getting the decision eventually but it’s a little frustrating that I haven’t gotten it yet considering the situation I’m in. If anyone knows when the second wave is coming out let me know lol
