<p>@NJTheatreMOM - sorry, I shouldn’t have generalized, as I am not nearly as familiar with the daily program at BU. My D was accepted there- and we researched, but never got as far as looking at the specifics of the academic load. D however does have a friend from her PA school (would have started BU in 2012) who left BU at end of Freshman year, citing academic concerns- but to be honest, he wasn’t a close friend and idk the full story. That was what he told kids when he came back to visit the PA school. He ended up transferring to Marymount Manhattan, which I believe (REALLY no knowledge here, no research at all- just from what I have seen here on CC) has fewer academic requirements. Again, apologies.</p>
