<p>BU is competitive, just check out their Common Data Set pg. 20.
There were 1,125 male transfer applicants in '11 and 257 were accepted. The number of female transfer applicants for 2011 were 1,390 and 454 were accepted. I would still apply, and they accept for spring :). I think that your being in the UK may be more interesting to an admissions rep., and you have the ability to write a meaningful essay on your experience with the UK Ed. system (although, do not complain too much…fine line). </p>
<p>The one thing I will tell you, is that you may have a better chance of transferring into a private school (now that I see how your courses have been thus far). Most of the public schools will want you to have a certain number of general ed. requirements already out of the way (often they favor junior transfers). The fact that the UK school didn’t require these may be an issue with the public schools you decide to apply. However, the private schools are more likely to not care. There’s an advantage to them receiving your tuition for the next 3 +years. Publics are more about graduation rates and so turning out more graduates is generally the goal (that’s why they prefer juniors in CA and in VA who have met all gen ed requirements at a cc). Just something to consider when you complete your list of schools.</p>
