This thread is to connect students admitted to the Boston London Program Class of 2021
I got accepted to this program. How is it? What is its acceptance rate?
@Hae1022 there is no specific acceptance rate for the program! I went last year and really enjoyed it!
About How many people were in the program? Was it like internship type experience? Will entering school at winter affect anything academically?
does someone wanna make a Facebook group for it to try to reach out to more kids that got in?
@Hae1022 there were about 300 people when I went. No it was not an internship, it is study abroad. You take classes there. No it will not affect anything academically, they wouldn’t do the program if it would put you behind
But we’re only allowed to take electives in our major? How is that supposed to facilitate the transition into our last two years at a school of our choice? My major is Computer Science and I would like to minor in Biology but would that even be doable in this program?
@CSandBiogirl - I have included two links to the program below. The first is to the core curriculum in CGS. The second is called the “pathway” to a particular major. They are mostly all there, but on my phone it is difficult to find. I’m sure you will have no trouble on a computer.
If you look at most of the pathways, there is only room for 1-2 self selected electives once you finish CGS. I don’t see how it would be possible to double major without going an additional summer or two.
Check out the links and perhaps make a call if you are interested.
