<p>Hi Guys,</p>

<p>I was curious to know if anyone knew how accurate the collegeboard transfer student statistics were, and if anyone had success applying as a transfer student into BU. While I am writing I figured I would throw my stats out and see if anyone felt that I had a good chance. Thanks ahead of time.</p>

<p>Graduated in the Top 10% of my class </p>

<p>hi! i transferred to BU last fall and i think you definitely have a good shot. They will focus more on your college work than high school i believe since you've been in college for 2 years, and your college stats are better than mine were. Also, it's easier to get in as a transfer in january, so i've heard. best of luck! feel free to message me if you have any transfer related questions.</p>
