Boston University Transfers Fall 2018

Those of you who got accepted to business school, can you share your stats please?

just realized in my excitement I types CAS rather than COE, (i blame researching a minor in CS right before i got my acceptance) woops!

No it looks different from the one you posted because it was a bit shorter and it was missing the last little paragraph. Good luck! I checked the thread from last year and people were getting decisions up to mid may!

i think, for the rest of us who have yet to hear, we will hear by may 1!

@3521jordan did they ask you for midterm grades?

@Meetdavda I sent them in, but they didn’t asked for them beforehand, so I’m unsure if they definitely required them of me (although I assume they would’ve).

Hey guys sorry Ive been kinda off this thread, caught up with finals. I got rejected which was weird since I was accepted before. My stats have not lowered whatsoever, and I attempted to defer my admission when accepted but they would not let me. I have extremely serious family excuses and was told by admissions that rejecting my offer and re applying would not affect my chance at being a strong applicant. I know many people who got into Questrom with lower GPA’s and stats, and feel I should have my application looked at again. Do you guys think it would be smart to submit a letter of appeal to admissions explaining the situation? I have looked at past threads of people doing this, and many have received positive outcomes.

@college457 Yes, I definitely think you should try! It’s better to have tried than not to have tried at all. It sounds like you have a chance. :slight_smile: Good luck!

@college457 maybe you filled out your application incorrectly? You were rejected really early in the rolling admissions process, so it is hard to imagine why if you have stellar stats. Writing an appeal letter is highly recommended, but you should call them to see why they rejected you (if they’re willing to tell you). Normally, they need new and compelling info on you when it comes to the appeal letter.

has anyone heard back today?

NOOOOOOO ugh lol

Still haven’t heard. Still 3 paragraphs. I’m so discouraged.

still waiting, my current school’s finals are on next week…

Same.

For anyone who has been accepted, how much and what type of financial aid did you get?

@stelliferous I got $60,670 in financial aid! BU Transfer Scholarship and the Pell Grant

@koreanincali Oh, my gosh! That’s amazing! Congrats!

still three paragraphs too…finals in next week lol hope I can get accepted this week

@stelliferous thanks! that’s the only reason i’m going tbh lol would not be able to afford the school otherwise…

Hi! Just just discovered this thread a couple days ago and have been reading along. Congrats to those who were accepted!
Curious: those who haven’t heard back yet—are any of you hospitality applicants? Have any hospitality students been accepted yet? I’m applying for SHA but have yet to see my applicant link change at all
