Boston University Transfers Fall 2018

I didn’t, but I will call tomorrow and ask if they need it.

FYI, it’s not a requirement, they use it to determine your credits after you get admitted. Submitting before getting admitted streamlines the process and allows them to send you a transfer credit report once you get admitted.

Can someone who also has a 2 paragraph message ask admissions if decisions will come out earlier than mid-april?

Never mind, I just submitted it! @r3j3ct3d1

Also, I’ve got the 2 paragraphs on the application link.

@r3j3ct3d1 Really nervous right now. Looks like decisions are coming.

ugh it absolutely kills me that I have a decision but can’t see it yet! It looks like we’re gonna have to wait for another month though

@Bostontransfer18 I am really praying that that isn’t the case and we are going to find out within the next 2 weeks. Past years have heard back the first Monday in April.

Is this the “three paragraph” prompt? Anyone care to share the two paragraph one? Hope we find out sooner in April.

As you can see, my GPA is on the very lower end - but I feel my ec’s/essay willvery well compensate for this.

Lol how come supposedly everyone here has so much EC, founder of everything and etc. I look at my EC and then everyone elses and I cry.

Is BU sending out decisions mid April or beginning of April??? The inconsistency is bothering me, lol

College GPA: 3.77
HighSchool GPA: 3.0 ish

@Miamitransfer last year and the year before, transfer students heard back the first week of April and then they came out on rolling basis after that so it was pretty random
