@proudterrier (cute picture btw!) Is December 1 the deadline for incoming freshmen? Because that sounds ridiculously early for transfers whose Common App and financial aid deadline was March 1…
I just get the feeling that their “funds” are quite arbitrarily given out, or they go by a first some first serve kind of basis.
I just wonder…how many transfer students do they accept? How many funds do they have? Clearly, my mind is too analytical and yearning for some receipts!
I will certainly try to find out some more details, if only to come back here and write down what happened so future students curious about BU can see this. Frankly, it may not be worth the time and energy put into applying if you get so little even as a need based candidate (never mind merit).
