<p>any information or opinions on my prospects/ what i need to do to get in would be awesome. Thanks!</p>
<p>I applied as a transfer last year, so feel free to message me, but I won't be able to respond after jan 8th</p>
<p>as you probably know from checking things out you need a 3.7 to be a competitive transfer applicant, last year they had 75 spots for 1800 students.. so its pretty steep. I am not sure how hard it is to get into the school of management. Make sure to write a good essay stressing how perfect of a fit you feel that BC would be for you..and make sure you visit the school so that you can say that honestly. Ask questions and get to know the admissions staff if you can.</p>
<p>CSOM is so so so so so hard to transfer into. I remember them telling us at Transfer Orientation that CSOM didn't want to accept ANY transfers because their classes were full, but the transfer committee got them to allow 2. 2!!!!!!!! That's basically nothing. Getting into CSOM is really hard anyway, but transferring in is even harder.</p>
<p>I'd bet anyone a hundred buck that those two transferred students got zip for financial aids. BC administrators would sometime request BC Admission to admit students who are academically qualified, but could also afford to the steep price tag. So if you are looking to transfer to CSOM, have unbelievably high stats or can afford the full tuition.</p>
