Boston University Transfers Fall 2018

ACCEPTED TO COM!!! For those that are wondering, my portal changed to two paragraphs last night when I checked. Notification email about decision received 8 am PST.

Also got acceptef for communications today!

@stelliferous Decisions are rolling so just as people have already gotten rejected, people will be getting acceptances up until June! I wouldn’t worry if I were you :wink:

@gearsekandou congrats!!! Mind sharing your stats?

@3521jordan thanks!! here are my stats,

School: Small private university in Northern California.
Status: Incoming junior.
GPA: 3.35 (upward trend)
EC’s: Nothing notable, just a few clubs.
Recs: Two - one from my sociology professor and another from my comm professor. Applied to comm as first choice and sociology as second choice, so both are very relevant recs.
Essay: Pretty strong, 9/10 in my opinion. Talked about very specific advantages of BU’s comm program/college.

Pretty surprised I got accepted considering my stats are below the transfer average. Even more surprising because I bombed my first quarter in college and got a 2.67 GPA. However, my GPA only increased since that quarter, going from 3.2 to 3.5 then to 3.85 last quarter. This shows that they really do take a holistic approach, so for those with a low GPA, don’t lose hope!

@gearsekandou Awesome, thank you & congrats again!!

Oh neat, that’s my exact GPA. I’m transferring from a CC though. @gearsekandou did you bother submitting any test scores?

Does anyone join the early review list successfully? I’m wondering to email them.

yes i did today

@mailbu ^^^^

@3521jordan i found my admissions counselor online in november and have been in contact with her since then

@Malcontent No i didn’t. I’m a junior transfer and didn’t do well on them in HS so I didn’t bother.

@stephaniecarino What reason did you tell them for adding you to the list?

So you just emailed them and they added you to early review list?

@stephaniecarino^^

@Meetdavda yes

@mailbu personal reasons i dont want to share over the internet lol but my reason was extremely legit so if you have a legit reason as to why you need it i’m sure they will do it

guys. my thing just changed to two paragraphs

What does the acceptance look like on the applicant Link?

Who do you email to get on the review list?

@jessiejazz17 Thanks for the reassurance! Also, super exciting about yours changing to two paragraphs!!!
