Hi, I just got accepted to CGS and am wondering if I will have to pay the $34000 price of CGS in addition to the BostonU price of 65000 or will I just have to pay for the tuition for CGS since I got accepted there
Sorry I should make myself more clear. I got accepted to the College of General Studies January Boston-London Program and it says the total cost for it is $34000. However it also says that the Boston university price is $65000. If I were to attend would I have to pay the CGS price of $34000 in addition to the BU tuition of $65000 or would I only have to pay for the College of General Studies since that is the program I got accepted to?
I think this page might help you. http://www.bu.edu/admissions/admitted/cgs-january-boston-london-program/boston-london-tuition/
in the January London program the first semester in Boston is $33k and the second semester in London is $33k so in total you’re paying around $65k
Thank you
Would someone be able to tell me if you apply directly into the CGS or are you in the same applicant pool as everyone else? What are the grade and test score requirements? Thank you!
@scout07 :You can apply directly to CGS, or you can apply to a different college and check off CGS as a “back-up” in case they don’t admit you to your first choice. The reqs are basically the same as everything else (approx. 2000 SAT, 30 ACT, A- avg., etc.) but CGS is actually a little more lax with this. They typically put people in CGS if they are a little lower in terms of scores than the rest of the applicant pool, but still show potential to succeed at BU. Of course, that doesn’t mean that accept people with AWFUL scores, just slightly lower ones. CGS gets a bad rep for this, people say it’s the college for the “less smart” students, but really you get the same education so don’t let that scare you away. After two years, you are guaranteed a transfer to CAS (or some other schools) anyway, so what’s the difference?
