same, i asked a few cgs students and they said they love it and that you aren’t just taking cgs classes but classes toward your major so those cgs classes are like general requirements. Also the gap semester can be used for an internship ,job, or taking community college courses
HAIL TO PITT! Best decision of my life. Congrats!

Anyone with the guaranteed transfer offer get the email about doing a year abroad with Verto? S24 was always thinking about at least a semester abroad so this is now an option we are considering as BU was one of his top choices.
Sounds like a good option. And BU is big enough that it will be fine with making friend groups and activities arrive sophomore year. Do you get to pick where you study?

Yes, they have different countries, Spain, Italy, Argentina, England and Czech Republic. You can choose to stay in 1 the whole time or switch semesters. And it looks like you are with all BU students doing the same program as well.
Planning to attend the info session to understand more.
When is the info session?
what is Verto ?
Sounds like Northeastern’s NU In program.

The company BU partners with for the program abroad.
I thought the same!
Great thanks
About 80,000 applications, targeted class of 3,200 including international. How is that an 11% (as per last year and predicted this year) acceptance rate and not a 4% acceptance rate??
It does. Except the BU program just lists Verto as just one option. It also says you can go to any accredited college for a year and then guarantee transfer to BU in fall 2025. I think for NUin you have to go to one of their first year programs, correct?
All school accept more students than they enroll because in most cases, for most schools, most students offered admission don’t accept it. I haven’t looked up the BU yield rate but at many non-Ivy selective schools it is in the 30-40 percent range.
