***Official Boston College Fall 2014 Transfer Thread***

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>So there’s no discussion topic for this, quite surprised. Anyways, post your stats, situation, insights, or anything regarding your BC Fall 2014 Transfer Application. Would be happy to hear about all experiences. Also, I strongly recommend you guys to post stats upon your decisions if you do not plan to share it now. Thank you and good luck to you all!</p>

<p>I am 16 years old, second year freshman, applying to csom, university gpa (not community college) :3.68, act composite 26, applying for transfer to fall 2014. chances anyone please. good or bad, i’ll accept it.</p>

<p>how many credits do you have @babaholiang‌?</p>

<p>i have taken 16 credit (fall 2013), and now i am taking 18 credits(spring 2014). I have submitted my mid-term grades and all my midterm grades are A’s. Also both of my parents are also an alumni. THank you for your response @cctransfer212</p>

<p>That’s awesome. You have a great chance of being admitted. Good luck!</p>

<p>oooo really, but i have no job experience.? Why do you think I have a higher chance? thank you very muchh.</p>

<p>your gpa is above bc’s average gpa (3.5). also, your parents being alums helps a lot.</p>

<p>ooo, okay2, but my ACT are bad, really bad. so would it really affect me? @cctransfer212</p>

<p>the more credits you have the less sat/act have an effect.</p>

<p>@cctransfer212‌ : Can you substantiate this - especially for BC?</p>

<p>31 ACT, 3.6 college GPA, 3.8 high school GPA, applied to CAS for fall 2014, good involvement/extra curriculars in high school and in college. Anyone with more knowledge of the transfer admission process have any insight for me?</p>

<p>@jpm50‌, im just saying that it is a good trait to have when applying to not only bc, but any college.</p>

<p>@COLL17‌, we have similar stats. do you know when they send out decisions?</p>

<p>@cctransfer212‌ :
If you read through the BC decision threads on this forum, you’ll see discussions of legacy applicants with furious parents because the money they gave to BC all these years didn’t help get their S/D accepted.</p>

<p>Legacy helps at some schools, but not all.</p>

<p>@jpm50‌, I’m just talking in terms of decisions and not fin aid.</p>

<p>Sometimes connections don’t always pan out the way we hope. Life is strange this way: <a href=“Maria Shriver At Tim Russert Memorial (VIDEO) | HuffPost Latest News”>HuffPost - Breaking News, U.S. and World News | HuffPost;

<p>cctransfer212:
I was only talking about decisions. Many applicants thought their legacy card would help them get into BC.</p>

<p>@jpm50 why do you think when your parents is an alumni, it would help much? ecause transferring to csom, what i heard is that there have to be someone transferring out of the school, and then we can enter.</p>

<p>babaholiang:<br>
Some earlier comments led readers to believe that being legacy at BC would help them get admitted. I was simply trying to clarify that, at BC, it doesn’t help much.</p>
