BOSTON UNIVERSITY CHANCE ME

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Hi! Thank you for reading this I am just wondering what my chances are for being accepted as a transfer sophomore for 2020 Fall to Boston University with these statistics:

BOSTON UNIVERSITY Fall 2019 Transfer Academic Profile

(Total Applicants 4,380
Total Transfer Students 791
Percent Admitted 49%
Average College GPA 3.66 )

I will be applying this March 1st to transfer next fall

Intended Major: Archeology
HS GPA: 2.5-2.7
First Semester College GPA: 3.5
Second Semester College GPA Prediction: 3.4-3.5
No SAT/ACT

Extra Curricular:

President of my Residence Hall
Senator of Student Government Association
LAFE (Latin American Student Club) member
Student Conduct Board Judge (1 of 3 appointed positions)
Sit on 2 committees
Writer for the School Newspaper Voice (Newspaper/Student Life)

Internships:

Interned for Boston University Archeology Professor
Interned for Town Hall

Volunteering:

High School Tutor for Foreign Languages/ Tutor for Middle Schoolers
Head Chair of Youth Leadership Commission
Perkins School of the Blind

Employment:

————————————————————————————
Things working for me:

Great recommendations + recommendation from Professor of desired major who is now an Assistant Provost of General Education

I feel like I might have an easier chance due to not many people being interested in Archeology as I am

Upward spiral with grades

Current Massachusetts state school does not have Archeology Major

I plan on applying to the College of Arts and Sciences: Archeology
————————————————————————————
Things Against me:

Bad High School GPA

Taking 4 classes this semester but 5 next semester! Including Anthropology 101

Flat out hard to get into

Thank you so much for your time!

BU offers a significant number of denied freshman applicants “guaranteed sophomore transfer” so the transfer acceptance figures you posted may be inflated. Since you are trying to transfer in as a sophomore BU will look at your high school stats. If you wait a year and apply to transfer in as a junior they will only look at your college record.

Are you full pay? That would help.

I’m applying for transfer Fall 2020 too! Looks like you had some great internships!

I’m at a CC, current 4.0, intended major: sociology and political science
I’m a non-traditional student and have been out of HS almost 10 yrs (poor hs gpa). Great recommendations. Not many extracurriculars because I work full time and school full time ?. Trying to lock down an internship for this spring. Chance?
