Chances at BU/rejected as a senior

<p>I am a freshman student at the University of Miami and I applied as a transfer applicant to BU. I visited this weekend and have to say that I absolutely loved it, I feel like I would be very happy socially and academically there. </p>

<p>However, BU says that since I was rejected as a senior applicant last year, they need to see my second semester GPA before a decision. There are 2 issues with this: </p>

<ol>
<li><p>I did not really get rejected from BU as a senior in high school. I send in the main common application to BU but didn’t submit any essays or payments. So it was an incomplete application but they seem to regard it as they rejected me. Can I dispute this to have my application be reviewed normally? And is this really what they do if you were rejected as a senior or was the guy I talked to just making it up?</p></li>
<li><p>I feel like this puts me at a major disadvantage because BU admissions is looking at transfer applicants now and handing out decisions within the next few weeks, but my grades won’t be finalized until May 15th at the earliest, so I will be at the bottom of the pile. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>I got a 3.7 GPA first semester here at UM and will get either a 3.8-4.0 this semester.</p>

<p>The fact that you didn’t bother to complete your freshman application says to BU that you rejected them early on</p>

<p>Well it wasn’t that I didn’t “bother to complete” it. I was influenced by my mother to not apply because she kept complaining that BU did not have a campus and said she didn’t want me to apply there. So I let her influence my decisions when I shouldn’t have. It’s not that I was too lazy to finish the application.</p>

<p>They don’t care about that, they care that you didn’t seem to care enough to complete the application.</p>
