Official Boston University Fall 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>@something random,</p>

<p>Hi competition :wink: I am also applying for the same major. I agree with the other poster your GPA is on the low side but I believe your extra-curriculars more than make up for it. It is great that you have real experience and are in contact with a professor, which is more than I can say. </p>

<p>I just turned in the midterm report, hope its not too late.</p>

<p>^ me too , sent the mid-year report on monday by express mail
arrived on tuesday, applicant link still show ā€œnot receivedā€</p>

<p>I was just informed this morning that I have been accepted as a Fall 2013 transfer to the School of Management :)</p>

<p>Congratulations!</p>

<p>brenderzy, congrats! How did you find out?</p>

<p>Iā€™m sorry you didnā€™t get in Bus2012ā€¦ Your stats are very similar to mineā€¦ Guess Iā€™ll post mine for other peopleā€™s reference as well :)</p>

<p>High School: Canadian/5 years ago. 2.75 GPA
College GPA: 3.84 with a B on my midterm report. Mostly hard courses on there, about 30 credits completion.</p>

<p>Extras: In the US Air Forceā€¦ About to be a veteran. Over 200 hours of volunteer work for flood relief efforts in North Dakota, early promotion for excellence, letters of recommendation from my commander and a college prof.</p>

<p>Iā€™m really anxious to get the results from BU! I also applied to NU and Umass Amherst. Goodluck everyone!</p>

<p>@Bus2012DVC, which school did you apply to?</p>

<p>I applied to the business school. Iā€™m going to assume that my high school stats did me in. My experience, letters of recommendation, and college grades were all top notch. Itā€™s all good. I liked the school but didnā€™t love it. Itā€™s a great fit for others though so good luck! I heard they were being generous with aid for transfers this year so good luck on that front too! </p>

<p>Btw my letter stated that there were 3700 applicants for 400 spots. So those that get in must be really exceptional. Good on you if you get admitted. </p>

<p>Do they really care about high school grades for Junior transfers? My HS grades were terrible but now I will have over 60 units with a great GPA and solid ECsā€¦</p>

<p>No acceptance, no rejectionā€¦ still playing the wait game!
I guess if they look at my HS transcript, I wonā€™t get in either, like I didnā€™t get in my freshman yearā€¦ keep waitingā€¦</p>

<p>Is it too late to send Mid-term grades? I have finished all my Community College courses. I know the deadline is way past. Are they going to consider me even without the Mid-term Grades??</p>

<p>I think it had to pull a fair amount of weight. I had a 3.7 with 50 units. 6 years of business management experience. 3 letters of recommendation (2 of which were exceptional). I find it hard to believe my college stats got me rejected. Itā€™s ok I understand where they are coming from. Iā€™m 6 years removed from high school and I have changed my life since then but I had a 2.31 in HS. I think they viewed that with big red flags. </p>

<p>The letter didnā€™t specify but I assume itā€™s for the whole school. Not exclusive to SMG. </p>

<p>3700 is the total of all transfer students, not for a particular school!
All the acceptance and/or rejection letters state this number, which seems a bit lower compared to previous years. I believe last year BU had around 4500 to 5000 transfer applicants, if Iā€™m not wrong.</p>

<p>@Bus2012DVC</p>

<p>I donā€™t think I would have a chance after reading your statsā€¦
But still looking forward for it, good luck.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if we can push back the whether weā€™ll come date? May 1 is pretty early, and I donā€™t think Iā€™ll be able to visit by then</p>
