I am currently in my freshman year of college, second semester and am looking at Boston University to transfer to for the Fall 2016.
I chose Fitchburg State as a safety.
HS: My school was a normal public school so it wasn’t competitive at all. I had average grades. Some A’s, some B’s and a few C’s until senior year. Senior year I had all A’s until the second semester when I finished Math with a C+ or a B-, I believe. Still, I had been awarded an Academic Achievement award from the mayor prior to those final grades. Overall, I finished with a 3.1/4.0 GPA(Horrible, I know). Graduated May 2014.
Took a year to decide what college to attend and what to study. Took my SAT twice and a little above 1300, which isn’t good at all. But BU doesn’t require SAT for transfers, so thank goodness. Now, where I live, Puerto Rico, we take the CEEB to get into college. I had a 700+ in English but overall got a very high score.
COLLEGE:Current freshman in Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico, majoring in Accounting. Because of my high english score on the CEEB I got 6 credits(2 courses) worth of English accepted.
1st Semester: GPA of 4.0/4.0 and finished with 21 approved credits(counting the 6 english ones). Took 5 classes in total. Was in level 60 Accounting and made Dean’s list.
I’m pretty active in the school. I joined the AEC (Association for Accounting Students) in my department. Have done community services and academic activities. Also joined another club which is more social oriented.
2nd Semester: Currently taking 5 classes, hope to earn a 4.0/4.0 GPA for this semester as well.
Was able to visit Boston University and Northeastern University.
Now, I’m not sure if I’ll be accepted at all. I would have never thought of applying for admission to a school like BU but it’s actually always been a far away dream of mine to be there( never even tried before because my chances out of HS were horrible) so I’m going for it now.
Please chance me ^^
If you have any tips or experience teansfering to BU it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You so much!.
