Hey guys! I’ll actually be applying for Spring '18 but your feedback would be helpful! I’ll be majoring in Journalism and International Relations. I’ll have over 60 units by the time I transfer. BU is my first choice, but I’ll also be applying to NYU, George Washington University, University of British Columbia, Northeastern, and University of Texas–Austin. I’ve also been attending three different schools in order to get the right courses to transfer because I’ve been looking at the transfer course equivalency guide. I’ve taken primarily online classes and hybrid courses so I really really hope they all transfer over.
