Student should go to a college that they like. No commitment to transfer. If they accept the sophomore transfer option but do not transfer, they will be offered guaranteed junior year transfer.

D24 rejected as expected
No blank :white_check_mark: in the portal leading up either
She will be attending FSU or UF
Good luck to everyone! BU is an awesome place! I went there for undergrad and grad school

Thanks. We were hoping to get some merit. BU’s tuition is way too expensive.

S24 received the guaranteed transfer option for September. 2025. Does any accredited college include community college?

Also for portal astrology, he did have the blank checkmark.

Had the checkmark and confetti, got rejected. Pretty sure it was yield protection, 1550 SAT, 4.0 UW & 4.7 W, international awards and research, including a very low acceptance rate <8% summer program. Accepted by Ga Tech, Northeastern, UCSD, UCSB, and waitlisted by MIT and JHU.

Wow. Sorry you were rejected. I do feel better when it seems like others get Random results.

The only rhyme or reason for s24 lately seems to be a lot of waitlists. Kind of “you’re good enough
but not exactly what we’re looking for”

I was accepted to gatech and northeastern aswell but rejected by Boston and also had checkmark and confetti aswell. I guess portal Astro isn’t that accurate.
