Just curious, I received an email a few days ago asking for additional materials for one of my submitted syllabi (that I submitted before application deadline) so they can “finish my transfer credit evaluation”… What does this mean? I know on the website it says that they only perform a transfer credit evaluation for accepted students, but I haven’t yet received any type of notification from admissions… But I know that they also haven’t released admission decisions yet… So nervous! Anybody else receive this type of email? Or know what it means?
@transfer967 I would think that they would want to know more about a class your taking? The reason they do the transfer credit evaluation is so you can get an idea of how many credits are accepted at BU from the courses you took at your current school. The amount of credits accepted by the school can affect your decision to going there. Perhaps, you submitted 40 credits and only 28 were accepted for transfer. 
@transfer967 Called the financial aid office and they were able to see all my financial aid documents! Apparently my social wasn’t in their system. The person I spoke to was amazing and found everything that I submitted! Phew.
Today is officially “Mid-November!” Hope people get their decisions soon!
@aalharr Thank you for the information! I will email them in.
@PatrickJ04 Haha, yeah, it’s officially started. Hopefully, we will get decisions soon!
I got an email from BU reminding me about FAFSA and CSS PROFILE and W-2. But on my financial aid status page, it said I have already submitted FAFSA and CSS PROFILE. I guess since I haven’t sent in my W-2, so they just send out this generic email.
Does anyone else get any emails about financial aid like this?
@titankcom I didn’t get that email, but I submitted all my forms before the deadline. Maybe call them to clarify?
@PatrickJ04 Do you know if decisions come out based on when you submitted your application? Or does it not matter at all? I submitted mine the day before the deadline and I don’t want to wait till mid December hahah
@aalharr I don’t think so. I believe it’s on a random rolling basis. If you look at past transfer threads on here, a lot of people say that it’s not based on any kind of date submission system.
How long does it take for your documents to process on the applicant link? I submitted all of my documents but It won’t show as complete yet.
@aalharr Still?? I think it might be better to call them to make sure
I think it took about week or week and a half for me, but it was the period when they received highest volume of document. I think they should be settle by now
@Ram30823 Ugh ikr!! I’m thinking maybe it’s because I’m international and my documents go to both the international and regular admissions? When I asked, they said to allow 2 weeks for process. I’ll call by the end of this week if I don’t see my applicant link changing. Thanks!
@aalharr I’m international student too.
School will say 2 weeks because they have to say maximum approximate date no matter it is slow period or peak.
Just got accepted to CAS! Haven’t heard anything yet about financial aid
@transfer967 Contrat!!! How did you received?? through mail or did you login to the applicant status page??
I applied to Questrom School of Business
Just got accepted to Questrom!!! I got an email from BU saying my decision was made and to check the ApplicantLink. Not sure about financial aid yet but they’ve been pretty generous with the transfer credits so far.
Just got accepted into Questrom as well! Hmmm… Northeastern or Boston U… LOL
I just got accepted into College of Arts & Sciences - Computer Science major. I got the notification through email.
Still no information about financial aid, though.
I didn’t get an email, I was just checking applicant link religiously until something showed up.
I called financial aid and they told me they haven’t begun releasing financial aid decisions, but that they will be releasing them anytime from now until mid-december.
@transfer967 So your status change was prior to the email?
@lizzi3 @ryanspretti Corgrat!! Would you mind telling when you submit the application and when material were all processed?? Also Stat if it is possible?
@Ram30823 Yes that’s correct!
accepted to CAS!!!
