Boston University Transfers Fall 2018

whoever said all decisions were gonna come out this week, I hate you

ACCEPTED!!!

Congrats @miuthecat , @TheLastofUs9 , @wizard3625449 , @maeuni , and everyone else accepted! WOOHOO. Hope everyone gets to go. :-bd

Quick question to everyone accepted, have you already received your credit evaluations? I was accepted April 2, and still haven’t received it, wondering if anyone else is in the same predicament.

@maeuni did they ask you for a midterm report? I’m asking cause mine changed to 2p in mid-March too so I’m worried that since they’ve been likely looking it for so long it means that they are unsure of whether to accept me or not and maybe they’ll ask for it.

@konjer15 @msport thanks for clarifying, sorry for the misinformation! I would love for all decisions to come this week, but if it’s anything like last year there could be decisions coming out for a while. Staying hopeful, but I don’t wanna get too excited !

Has anyone been accepted to the college of engineering yet? If so, please share your stats! Getting super excited to hear back The wait has been killing me these past few weeks

@3521jordan
I was accepted for computer engineering on April 2.
I’m a freshman this year.
College GPA: 3.84
High School Class Rank: 1/420 (4.0 unweighted GPA). They probably looked at this more since I’m a freshman.
SAT: 1460 (800 Math)
Currently at a state school in Pennsylvania.
I participated in research and some engineering clubs since coming to campus, so that probably helped.
Best of luck! Hope you get good news soon!

@ChillKid9 That’s so Awesome, congrats!! Your stats are a lot better than mine, I’m really banking on hooks / EC’s. High school stats are pretty bad but im not worried because this is my 4th semester, I have a 3.56 GPA (4.0 on midterm report) But lots of volunteer hours, a full time job, & I’m a veteran. Trying not to get my hopes up, but it’s kinda hard not to lol. Thanks for sharing I appreciate it, congrats again!

Nope I haven’t received my credit evaluations

@msport i didn’t know about the paragraph change, and yes I did receive the email in the morning, around 10 am. @concretejungle i didn’t get the credit evaluation because I still have to submit courses!

@ConcreteJungle1 I asked the credit evaluation office, and they said the admitted students have to submit the enrollment deposit to activate the credit evaluation process. I don’t know if students will receive the evaluation after the payment or not, since I haven’t submit my syllabus yet. Perhaps you could write an email to confirm if the evaluation is processing :slight_smile:

@wizard3625449 hey! I emailed them and they told me my credits are currently processing, so I guess I’ll just have to wait a little longer. It wouldn’t make much sense to me if we didn’t receive our evaluations until after submitting a deposit since it’s an important part of deciding whether or not we’ll attend.

I recommend sending all your syllabi in as soon as possible since it takes a while and it’s crucial for transfer students. They recommend students submit it after sending in their applications and seeing you already got in, now’s a good time.

Looking at the Fall 2017 thread and there’s multiple people in that thread who requested to be on the early review list and it worked for them. Calling them Monday (if they’re open) or Tuesday to try and get on. I need to know early because I have to secure off campus housing next semester at my current school but can’t commit until BU gives me a decision.

Hi, I’m currently awaiting a decision because my college forgot to send my college report although BU was very accommodating given I had proof of requesting the form mid February (quite sad as I had the 2P for quite a while and would have likely known by now). That being said, I’ve recently decided I’d rather change my major but at BU that would require a change of colleges (from CAS to Sargent). Should I contact admissions Monday or wait for my decision, in which case, if accepted, I would then address it?

It seems that my portal is down. “Your request was not completed because the following occurred:
UISA.BU.EDU:1551 not available: Connection refused.” Anyone met similar problems before? (My application isn’t complete yet.)

@luckybaby my portal is up and running just fine, might be a connection issue on your end?

@ConcreteJungle1 Alrighty! Thanks a lot!

@konjer15 No, they didn’t request any additional materials outside of the CommonApp’s supplemental forms (I only sent in my College report and High school report just incase).

I’m also sending in my syllabi this week for evaluation, I figured I’d wait until I’d hear about my admissions decision (because according to my college’s credit evaluation analysis, only a few of my credits are going to transfer. Pretty unfortunate as a junior, but I’m coming from a community college, so c’est la vie).

@3521jordan I think so, it works well now. Thank you very much!

@maeuni In order for your credits to be evaluated, do you have to put down the deposit first? I was going to send my syllabus this week, but I thought I read somewhere that they won’t evaluate until you put down a deposit (also, are you sending yours for spring semester too? I have yet to submit half my classes from last semester or the ones from this semester)
