Boston University Transfers Fall 2018

@cocolipp hey I’m also a guaranteed transfer and have 3 paragraphs as you too, i called them asking when decisions will be sent out and they said from end of April to June… very frustrating… i think we should be fine tho as long as you sent all your documents and have a 3.0 > gpa

@r3j3ct3d1 That’s exactly what I said. It is not on a case by case basis, meaning that transfer students will not get an admissions decision early just because they submitted their application early or because BU received all their application materials before their notification date. Regardless of when you applied to BU or your materials were checked off, you will only get a decision when they are reviewing your application, and this is when you get the 2 paragraphs. According to the BU staff I spoke to, this is what they said to me, but they could be lying, who knows?

Just submitted my enrollment deposit!

Is there a facebook group for admitted transfers?

Did anyone just receive an email asking for college syllabi? I swear I sent them a couple of weeks ago. I guess they haven’t gotten to it yet?

I also got that email!

When you sent the syllabi, did you get a automatic confirmation email? I got one, but that email didn’t show up in my email “sent” list.

lol i got the email too… i was about to have a heart attack. i thought it was a decision.

lol i thought it was a decision too… smh

Got admitted this morning to Questrom! Still waiting to see what my financial aid looks like. Anyone else having the same issue?

@stelliferous @cercit20 Just called them, they claimed to have only started reviewing transcripts 2 days ago. But, they only review transcripts of those they accept (I guess that’s one of the reasons they accept in waves). If you call the number on the email (617-353-2319) they can confirm or deny if they’ve received your syllabi yet. There was no wait time when I called.

@vdoan17 wait so we won’t hear until end of april to june?!

@TransferFall2018 wait did you already submit and go through with your FA appeal? Or are you doing that after the enrollment deposit?

@TransferFall2018

I submitted the appeal yesterday and my enrollment deposit today. I will do the housing tomorrow.

@TransferFall2018 I need to submit a FA appeal because my aid was very low. Can you give an update on how much more BU offers you when you get a response? Should I send my appeal through email or mail? Thanks!

@weeknds

I will definitely let you know. I sent BU Financial Aid an email and I also sent them documents in the mail. I basically said how much I love BU and how some things have changed since I filed my CSS and FASFA.

May anyone explain to me 2 or 3 paragraphs mean? I don’t get it.

@colus19 A change from a 3 paragraph prompt to 2 paragraphs on your portal means that your application is under review and you should receive a decision soon

hopefully we start hearing back end of next week or beginning of the following week!

got the admitted email in CAS on this Monday ,and got the document mail this afternoon

I was accepted into CAS:
College GPA: 3.8
HS GPA: 2.79 (2 good years, 2 bad so I ended up with this. It was an effort thing, or more appropriately a lack thereof.)
Congrats to those who were accepted, also I did no EC’s besides working on Beyond Skyrim and Skywind in case anybody was wondering.
