Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

<p>Im attending a public university in New Jersey due to being rejected from BU when I applied straight out of high school. So I planned on going to a different local college and get my GPA up enough to be accepted to BU.</p>

<pre><code> My questions are
</code></pre>

<p>how high should my GPA be before attempting to transfer</p>

<p>How many credits do I need in order to make my high school transcripts not as important (my gpa in high school was 3.4)</p>

<p>How do I know if BU will accept my current courses and give me full credit for them?</p>

<p>And lastly are joining clubs while at my current university important in transferring?</p>

<p>Sorry for the tons of questions, but my main goal is to go to BU and I need help in the process of getting there. Thanks</p>

<p>When transferring to different colleges, it’s MUCH more difficult than applying as a first year, since the college wants to get many new first year and they have little space remaining for transfers.</p>

<p>It all depends on what college you would like to apply to, too.</p>

<p>On the BU page, it says for transfer applicants to aim for a GPA of 3.5+. (Get somewhere between 3.7+ to get a better chance.)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars in college are still needed to show that you are still interested in many other aspects instead of just studying. </p>

<p>And SAT score and ACT scores are still needed. And don’t forget recommendation letters. They are still needed.</p>
