Official BU Spring Transfer 2017

congrats everyone!!! How exciting!!! My application is still being processed on the applicant link so I won’t be hearing until later. Ahh, I definately did not expect decisions to come out so soon!

I’m so nervous! Has anyone if they will be attending for sure?

@aalharr I’m waiting to put down my deposit until I receive my financial aid decision

I’m holding out for financial aid and to hear back from Tufts, however, I am very uneasy about what I will be offered from BU. I’m 25 but they still consider me a dependent for financial aid considerations and despite living and working on my own for 7 years with no familial financial support, they are requiring my parents income. It wouldnt have been an issue except they want my noncustodial parent’s spouses income, which is massive. He has no interest in contributing to my edu and I am not interested in taking on 100k in debt after having done 2 years of CC. Fingers crossed!

Just got accepted to the college of communication! :slight_smile: I was checking throughout the day, stopped to watch HTGAWM, then something told me to check before I went to bed…no email but the decision was up. I submitted on Oct 28 and everything appeared as processed after two weeks, if that helps anyone. Good luck to those still waiting!

Why are you not considered independent? There has to be a reason.

I’m considered an independent for federal aid, but for institutional aid, no one is an independent unless you have supporting documents (aka restraining order, death certificate, emancipation, etc). It’s absolutely absurd.

My status just changed that I need to turn in my Mid-term Report and Gap explanation.

I asked them several time whether do I need those and they told me that I do not need to;;

Now, I think I have to wait for another long period for the decision

I just send mail with those two document, but since it is friday night in EST, it will be process on either Monday or Tuesday and re-review my application from then.

Did anyone else get accepted/rejected or is waiting on a reply?

Just received my acceptance to CAS the other day (for English). I didn’t even receive and email, just logged on and the decision was updated.

I’m curious, with the deposit due on Dec. 15th, does anyone know when financial aid awards should be announced/mailed?

Also, as for stats, I’m 26 with a (very) crazy educational background, so I don’t think providing those details would be of much help to most of you still waiting, hah.

I called them today to ask about financial aid. They said financial packages would go out around the beginning of Dec.

Has anybody received any word yet from financial aid?

Just got accepted to Questrom!!! If you haven’5 heard yet, my application was finally completed yesterday and I heard today.
I am paying the deposit and will be attending!

@transfer967 I haven’t received it yet. But they said it would be release around the beginning of December.

@aalharr Congrats!

Thought you all might want to know that I spoke with the financial aid department today and was informed that financial awards will be released in about 2 weeks. They’re working to make sure everyone gets notified before the enrollment deposit deadline…

Hi! I’ve been checking this forum for a while now. I got accepted a while ago to CAS for Computer Science c: I’m waiting on financial aid packages.

Did anyone hear anything about credits transferring?

@aalharr I sent mine in and some of mine transferred but I think they’re still processing them. Did you email them your syllabis?

@panda987 how do you know if they were transferrred or processing? Yup, I emailed them it in mid november.

@aalharr If you hover over the Decision tab on the top of the Applicant Link, the second option should be Transfer Credit Evaluation. It should be there.
