I called them on Monday and asked to be put on the early review list because I have a deposit due on May 3rd, but they told me it was too early to start putting people on the early review list and that they couldn’t really do anything to help me.
@transfergirl17 Could you try calling them again? The woman on the phone said she put me on the list.
I’ve been given the guaranteed transfer option to attend BU Fall 2019 as long as I attend another accredited university for two semesters with a 3.0+ GPA for freshman year.
Pros:
I’m going to a university near my home for freshman year. It’s cheaper and closer. It will determine if I’m ready to be faraway from home for a long time.
My question is whether I’m considered BU Class 2022 if I accept this GT offer? Is GT’s looked down upon? And when does GT students hear about financial aid?
@solarene Your graduating class will likely depend on the amount of credits that transfer over. And you’ll hear about your aid when you apply and are accepted. As far as “looked down upon,” your diploma will say BU so who honestly cares? Just my $0.02 though
I have a guaranteed transfer agreement with BU. I had a few issues getting in all of the required materials on time but was finally able to send everything in by the end of last week. Thing is, the transfer agreement requires I have a 3.0 (cumulative over 2 semesters). During my 1st semester I was attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and received a 2.73. I transferred over to a CUNY (CSI) for my 2nd semester and my transfer midterm grades (which I got signed off on by my teachers last week) put my GPA at 3.55 for this semester. Do you think that BU will just base their decision off my midterm GPA (3.55) and my 1st semester GPA (2.73) or do you think that they will request a final transcript? I think they might consider my midterm grades much more because the dates the midterm grades were given (around 4/23) by the teachers are almost near the end of the semester. However, I’m not sure. If they do request a final transcript, I wont have it until like June 1st so it’ll be a long wait lol. Not a big deal but I am anxious haha, any input on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
Mine just changed to 2 paragraphs (I checked all yesterday and it was at 3)…I’m going to be super anxious until I get my decision
Nice. Applied Questrom back in February. Still at 3P. At this point I’m expecting a rejection, but am curious as to why they bothered asking for a midterm report (which was perfect) and waiting so long to give a decision. Rejections should come first, not last. Stupid
I just got accepted into another college and they need a decision within the next three weeks. Should I email BU and ask to be put on the early review list to ensure I get a decision or should I have a decision by that time?
When do the latest decisions go out, typically? Is there really some chance I won’t have a decision by the end of this month?
Mine just changed to two paragraphs as well. Hopefully we’ll hear back by the end of today.
Mine also just changed to 2 paragraphs, major: business admin.
Note: Never was asked for midterm report/turned in financial aid late.
@n0irnek0 Yes, you should try calling like others on this thread have.
@t0pnotch I applied for the business school, too. Good luck.
@msport Last year, I got asked for midterm report and still made wait until the first week of June before rejecting me so I know that frustration. This year I’m still expecting a rejection because my college GPA is below 3.5 and my high school record is awful.
Also are you a freshman right now because they almost always ask for freshman/first years to submit a mid term report.
@Malcontent There’s definitely a chance, like I said, they were accepting/rejecting kids throughout May and into June last year. I’d definitely try to get on an early list if you have other schools waiting on you.
@TheBrady6 I’m actually applying as an incoming Junior. That sucks man, I hope it goes well for you this year.
just changed to 2 p’s! they asked for my midterm and i’m a student in their summer program!
So it changed to two paragraphs and then they didn’t give you a decision but asked for the midterm grades? Or did they previously ask for the midterm grades and now you’re awaiting your decision tonight or tomorrow?
@slopper101 they asked for my midterm grades and i’m awaiting my decision tonight!
Got it. Thanks and good luck.
There are two kinds of 2P pages, right? My portal just changed, and it looks like this:
We have received your application to the Questrom School of Business for the September 2018 semester. If you would like to change the college or school of application, or if you would like to discuss your application, please call BU Admissions at 617-353-2300 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time to speak with an admissions staff member.
Our records indicate that your application for admission is complete. Admission decisions for September 2018 will be posted starting in April. Please verify your address (including e-mail address) by clicking Applicant Address.
HOWEVER, my financial assistance page still has the paragraph that says forms might be requested when my application is reviewed. Does anyone who already got their decision know whether I might be rejected or accepted?
@stelliferous That’s the one type of 2P prompt and your financial assistance tab doesn’t indicate anything about rejection/acceptance
@stelliferous @TheBrady6 Theres two types of 2P prompt. The other one has the lines switched up. I have the one you have and I was accepted on the first wave. My fin aid page also never changed. Good luck
