Chances of Transfer to Boston University

Transfer Students

<p>I never thought I would do this but I am a freshman looking to transfer to Boston University in the Fall '09 from Fordham University. I am from NYC and believe that I really do need a change of scenery, and I think BU is the place for me. That being said I'm pretty nervous about my credentials and was wondering if anyone could let me know my chances.</p>

<p>HS:
GPA 3.6 unweighted
Rank: N/A
SAT's: V670 M610 W650
SAT II: US History 640 Math I 570
EC's: Varsity Baseball all four years, senior captain, all borough selection sophomore year. (Baseball was a year round thing at my school didn't have time for much else), Honors in History
Community service, and summer work experience
One AP class no AP tests (High school only offered a couple of AP's)</p>

<p>College: Fordham University College of Business Administration (CBA)
GPA 1st semester: 3.6</p>

<p>But if anyone can help me out and give some guidance or insight that would be great.</p>

<p>i’d say you have a good shot</p>

<p>why are you applying to Boston University if your looking for a business school?
there’s so many better business schools in Boston with better rankings</p>

<p>Good shot at getting in.</p>

<p>Red Glory: It’s not necessarily about the rankings for me. I wouldn’t go to a B-School that had a terrible reputation, but BU is still in the top 50 according to Business Week. Fordham has a good business school, but I’m not enjoying it. I’d rather be somewhere where I am going to enjoy my experience.</p>

<p>your stats are par/slightly above par to their successful transfers. I would definitely be confident if I were you. If it makes you feel any better my hs gpa was 2.6ish i dont even remember, and my college gpa is 3.62, ec’s deployment to iraq and thats about it. So statistically i’d trade/be extremely confident if i were you.</p>
