<p>“This offer is extended with the understanding that you will successfully complete your current high school work in good academic and disciplinary standing. In addition, you must complete two semesters as a full-time student in an accredited, degree-granting college and earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for two semesters.”</p>

<p>What’s the point of that? It hurts even more than being straight out rejected. I doubt I’ll want to transfer after being at another school for a whole year. I mean, it’s confusing because it says that I got into CAS for next year, but does that mean I wasn’t even a good enough candidate for CGS out of the applicants for this year?</p>
<p>Anyone else get this bogus letter from them? Are you going to take up their offer?</p>
<p>I got the same thing. The only two universities I wanted to go to did this to me. Oh well, I’m going to A&M or GWU.</p>
<p>I got this too. I honestly didn’t even know that this was thing that places did–why not just accept me now? I probably won’t do it because, like you said, I don’t really want to transfer after a year and I don’t feel like going to a college with the intention of transferring is a good idea. Also Northeastern offered me a scholarship.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t know. My dad is encouraging me to do it since it was my first choice, but I don’t think it’s a good idea. </p>
<p>Looks like I’m going to Penn State or Fordham.</p>
<p>I got the same thing -__- I don’t think I am going to accept though.</p>
<p>I think I might submit the form–it’s not binding, so there’s really no harm. You could do that too, and that might make your dad happy. It doesn’t mean you have to transfer, but at least you’ll have the option, I guess.</p>
<p>I got this -__- but i got into northeastern so i might not accept. It still hurts though.</p>
<p>Hey, I got the same result. I was also thinking about why I wasn’t just admitted to CGS or waitlisted. It’s frustrating because BU was confirmed as a backup school from my college advisor and over the past three years, they’ve accepted about 90% of the applicants from my school. It does hurt because we’re left really confused. My admissions have been incredibly weird and uncorrelated. (Rejected from Cal Poly SLO but waitlisted at U Chic…?) This year is brutal.</p>
<p>If “accredited, degree-granting college” includes community colleges (which grant associates degrees), then you now have the opportunity to go to and graduate from BU for 3/4 of the total cost (i.e. one year of cheap community college followed by three years of expensive BU).</p>
<p>I was also offered the guaranteed admission as a transfer student for Sept 2014 and I signed the agreement since it was non-binding. Has anyone actually gone through with the agreement and transferred to BU in the past here?</p>
