Official Boston University Fall 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>Rain202, mine just showed that I needed to submit my mid-term after all my other materials were received and processed in the portal.</p>

<p>@khustla So you have a 3.83 omitting the failed class? An F on a transcript hinders your chances of transferring.</p>

<p>@bosbr100 and @marmun
OK, thanks</p>

<p>@rain202
actually a D on the first transcript. but i consider it as a fail :confused: the 3.83 stands as it is. do i really not have a chance?</p>

<p>With your cumulative GPA of 3.4, you’ll be considered a borderline student (average transfer GPA for BU is a 3.5), so your essays and extracurricular activities will be important.</p>

<p>thanks. hoping the best. good luck to you as well!</p>

<p>there is no mid-year report in my applicant link
should i send them?</p>

<p>Dargor13, my account just showed that I need to submit the mid-term once all the other materials had been checked off.
So I guess yes, we all have to submit them. It is just not stated on the BU applicant account from the very beginning.</p>

<p>If I could get in,
I just need to pass all of my class this semester ?
Grade C i mean.</p>

<p>Anyone hear back from BU with a decision yet??</p>

<p>^ I haven’t heard anything, but some people should be hearing decisions in the coming weeks</p>

<p>Wish I did haha but not yet!</p>

<p>From what I was told, some people will get their decisions starting on mid-April! Please BU, leeeet us know!</p>

<p>I was told that transfers hear back in mid-April as well! I was told if we call, we somehow find out earlier? Like if we say we need to hear from BU because of deadlines for financial aid we can somehow hear our decision earlier? Maybe this week or next week hopefully!</p>

<p>Bmecca, that’s exactly what I heard in their Transfer Session! That if you have a complete file, you will hear around April…
Plus, if you need to find out earlier because you have another school waiting, you can probably get a decision sooner as well.</p>

<p>Hopefully, very soon!</p>

<p>bosbr100, I just need to find out soon from BU because like you said, I have a few other schools waiting to hear back from me that have already given me admission decisions. I don’t know how I’d feel about calling BU and pestering them to finish reviewing an application though you know?</p>

<p>Yeah, I might have to ask for my decision early from a few colleges too. What do you guys think? Does asking a college for your decision early hurt your chances for getting accepted?</p>

<p>yarrum, I was thinking the same thing! I’m scared to ask them and seem like a pest and therefore hurt my chances of getting in. At the same time, I really need to know though.</p>

<p>they have just received many of my documents,
checking few times a day just won’t help</p>

<p>Yes, same here! I also have to let the other schools know.
However, my deadline for the other schools is May 1st. So I’m hoping they will let most of us who have a complete application know the decisions by then.</p>

<p>When do you guys need to decide for the other schools?
Maybe if you say BU is your first choice and you would want to find out your decision before committing to a different school…?</p>

<p>I emailed BU and said they were my first choice and all. I need to decide by May 1st for other schools as well.</p>
