Boston University Transfers Fall 2018

Im in contact with an admissions representative and was told BU will be finalizing most of the applications, and will release decisions this week. Both acceptances, and rejections. :confused:

@mailbu That’s weird, there’s people in the Fall 2017 thread talking about and people on this thread talking about it. That sucks, I really thought there was one.

@college457 are you serious?!? FINALLY

I still have 3 paragraphs :confused:
Application submitted 02-28-18 and documents received/App completed 03-30-18.

@pok24647 Same. Anticipation is killing me.

Do admitted students get a BU ID?

Accepted!
My portal changed from the 3 paragraphs to 2 paragraphs around 1 PM (Eastern time) and I received my acceptance at 9:30 PM on the same day.

Current school: OOS community college
College GPA: 3.8 with about 60 units
High School GPA: 3.2 unweighted
Non-traditional student

Accepted to BU Sargent College

By the way, if your applicant portal changes from 3 to 2 paragraphs, it means that your application is under review for a decision lol, not that you were admitted.

Previous school: CUNY Bronx Community College
College GPA: 3.59 (63 credits)
NYC Public High School: 77 in a scale of 100
ESL, LGBTQ and Low-income student
Emigrated to the US at the age of 14
Lots of ECs, Internships, and volunteering experiences

Do you guys know how long it takes to get the decision after the midterm report is received?

@jenjen9796 submitting your midterm report has nothing to do with when you’ll get your decision. I was asked to submit one about 3-4 weeks ago. If the commenter above is credible then you do not need to worry as apparently decisions could potentially come out this week for everyone.

@college457 BU was handing out decisions until June last year. They’ll probably get a good amount out but I doubt all of them

@Bostontransfer18 me too. I’m doing not so good this semester

@msport thx so much. Really hope that they can release the decisions these two weeks.

Mine just switched to two paragraphs. I have a 3.86 and have taken really hard classes, however, had to withdraw out of one. They don’t typically release rejections this early but I feel they might :confused:

Whyyyy are they taking so long to review mine :frowning: my app was downloaded Feb. 26th and I’m still left with 3 paragraphs.

Rejected. Really surprised because I was accepted as a freshman and grades are still very high. I submitted last semester. Pretty sad since my parents have been saving up for me to attend since I got in last year. Best of luck to the rest!

@college457 Did you submit your transfer mid-term report?

@college457 sorry to hear :/. Since they are already handing out rejections, I guess the rest of us won’t have to wait for long.

@college457 when did you find out? And did you get an email about a decision awaiting? And lastly did your message turn to 2 paragraphs or stay at 3?

@college457 Really sorry man. I read your other post that you’ve been accepted two times. Think they rejected you because they thought you wouldn’t attend this time? Maybe if your GPA etc stayed constant I suggest calling their admission offices. Why didn’t you defer your admission?
