Which has already been previously mentioned, the syllabi has nothing to do with your admission decision. You can send it after you are admitted, its for the college you get into to analyze how many credits transfer over. You can send it in early to get the credits over with earlier.
I sent in my syllabi, didn’t send in my midterm grades.
@koreanincali ,
College:
-I go to Emerson College (freshman). Last semester I got a 4.0, this semester I’m expecting a 3.8 (hard law class). I applied to Questrom for the pre-law program. I want to mix some classes together because I want to be a music attorney (stated in application).
HS:
-Private all girls school, they didn’t rank, 3.7 GPA and recieved IB Diploma
-Testing: didn’t take SAT, scored 29 ACT (combined) ((I know some colleges combine, some don’t?)
-Captain of varsity tennis for 3 years, choir, advisory board member in major nearby city for music scene (meetings counted as volunteering, so over 100hrs for sure)
-managed musicians/booked gigs in nearby city
-worked typically 30 hrs a week with children
Oh! and 16 credits 1st semester, 16 still in progress this semester, so 32 transferring in total if I were to get admitted for fall
Have you guys sent your midterm report to BU？my friend told me that her friend who applied to BU last year did send a midterm report, but I don’t see this requirement on applicant link?..so I am confused about this.
Also, I am an international student and studying in UConn now. I had my high school in Boston, so this is my fifth year in US. I didn’t find any information about TOEFL waiver on BU website, but after I submitted my application on CommonApp at the very end of February, I logged into my applicant link later on and didn’t see missing TOEFL score on my link. I don’t take TOEFL and send this kind of score to BU. So does this mean they automatically waive my TOEFL requirement or they will ask me for this later on??? (I have applied to BU two years ago as a senior student in US high school and I did take TOEFL and sent my score at that time, but TOEFL score only valid for two years, which I sent it on December 2015 for freshman applicant, but this time I submitted application on February 2018, which is over 2 years between these two dates, so BU will not keep my old TOEFL score right???) Just worried about this…hope someone can answer this question for me~!
@Amberrr I think I can answer your question about the midterm report. Some schools don’t require it, and some do (I’m applying to BC, BU, Cornell, and Northeastern; only Cornell requires the midterm report, while the other three claim its supplemental but theyd like to see it). Essentially, it’s not a formal requirement; unless BU explicitly asks for it, you needn’t send it. I sent mine because it looked really good for me. I’ve heard it basically just shows the courses you’re enrolled in, and how you’re doing in them (since most colleges won’t see your final transcripts until after they admit you, and they’re only going off your first semester for how well you’ve done in college–unless you’re not a sophomore applicant).
Basically, if you have a good midterm report, send it–it can’t hurt you. If you don’t, and they don’t ask for it, then maybe don’t. If nothing else, I’d call them and double check. I did that with one of my schools, since the midterm report wasn’t listed as required; they told me they’d like to see it, but it wasn’t technically required for my admission decision. It never hurts to double check.
Whew that was long…anyways, hope it helped some!
I just got an update to my transfer portal to Questrom directly asking for my midterm report! I’m hoping that’s good news… Switched from a complete application back to incomplete - so maybe they need to see it before they make their final decision? Anyways, this is awesome because I have a 4.0 midterm report 
Hi, just curious…has anyone who submitted on 3.1 got the 2 paragraphs?
I am just really interesting in knowing if there are rejections in the first wave…
@TransferFall2018 Yes, I’m wondering that too. On one hand, because it’s rolling admissions, I don’t see why they would keep an applicant who they think is unfit. On the other hand, I don’t see why they should eliminate anyone early on if they’re trying to fill seats.
@Bostontransfer18 @TransferFall2018 I feel like there most likely wouldn’t be rejections the first wave. I can’t recall if I saw this on previous BU or Northeastern threads, but I remember that rejections came out later, like May/June-ish, and no one posted about rejections first wave (could be no one wanted to, which I get, but people were posting in later waves about being rejected so…?)
It makes most sense to reject someone later, I feel. If they’re trying to fill seats, they’ll contact their preferred applicants first, and then as the list goes on depending in space they’ll continue to consider others. Assuming that’s how they’re doing this since it’s rolling admission, they’re most likely not releasing rejections first wave.
If we have the two paragraphs, is it reasonable to assume we are a part of the 1st wave?
@Miamitransfer I just submitted that I would want to be considered for both.
Anyone applying to the School of Education?
@OrangeHope18 I submitted on 3.1 and got 2P couple days ago, how about you?
Does anyone who apply to Questrom got a 2 paragraph portal?
@mailbu I did and I applied on march 1st.
I’m starting to think he whole 2 paragraph thing just means they reviewed your application already. According to last years thread everyone that got it generally was accepted so if that’s the case this year than we are all set haha. I’m stressing mad hard these days keep getting slower and slower.
@BostonLover856 but i submitted mine on 3.1 and got 2P and ppl before me that submitted still got 3. Who knows, but generally it looks like a good sign.
At this point I’m just curious if we’ll hear back the first week of April or mid-April since the link says two different things.
