Hi jeremiah, to which program you are admitted to?

If you're a poli sci major I highly recommend taking Intro to International Relations with Schilde as one of your three intros. Probably the best class I've taken so far

Jessie Park Same!!

Same

girl sammeeee

Late reply, but I just got accepted to BU for Comp Sci. SAT:1280 ACT:29 (UW) GPA: 3.9 As you can see, my test scores are shit... however test scores are only a fraction of what makes up your application. I was able to speak with a few BU admission officers about the whole application process and they all emphasized extracurricular activities, *the essays* , and the classes you take in hs. Make sure that your senior year course load is more challenging than your junior year, BU ao's want to see constant improvement, not "senioritis". Also, heavy emphasis on essays because it will make or break your admission decision, regardless of your test scores and whatnot. My extracurriculars: Sports: Cross country, Wrestling, Judo (Team Captain) Volunteer Work: I volunteer at a farm (Roughly 12hr/week), Tutor at a elementary school (~4hrs/week), Beach cleanups on weekends Clubs: Robotics Research: Participated in a research project by my state's public uni for tropical agriculture (this is my volunteer farm work)

Hey! I was just accepted to the Neuroscience major in the College of Arts and Sciences, and I'd be happy to give you my stats if it's any help! ACT: 34 GPA: 4.5 weighted SAT Chem Subject Test: 700 SAT Math II Subject Test: 700 APs: 9 in total (APUSH, AP US Government and Politics, AP Microeconomics, AP European History, AP Psychology, AP Chemistry, AP English Lang/Comp, AP English Lit/Comp, AP Calculus BC) Extracurriculars: volunteer at a local hospital for 4 hr/wk, volunteer at a local cat shelter for 4 hr/wk, work in my school's writing center (tutor), worked at a kids' summer camp, Junior State of America (club), Ecoschools (club), Gay-Straight Alliance (club), been in theatre for 4 years and had ensemble and lead roles in productions, played JV lacrosse for 2 years, take piano lessons outside of school Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any questions about the application process!

I'm not a bio major unfortunately, but I'd def just start off with your intros

Helen Jiang I’m a junior and I want to major in bio too!! Did you end up choosing BU as your school?

Brooke C Yes! I went to open house and I love it! Trust me it’s gonna be a good choice!

@@luluj4634 How do you like it so far? I just applied for the 2021 school year

ASMR Heaven It all depends on ur major. Premed is just... painful... but if u choose business or Econ as your major, you will be MUCH less stressful I promise.

Good luck with applying! From what I understand, BU takes a holistic approach when looking at applications. My best advice when it comes to applying to BU, is really make your essay personal to you and BU. Don't just use some generic "Why ...." essay. Really get into the details about WHY you want to go to BU. What makes BU different from others. I would look at specifics such as programs, classes, extracurriculars, and monuments on campus. Good luck!

Update: Got in and committed.

@@davcurse YESSSS!!!!

Congrats!!!! As for as transfer student advice, I would say definitely try to get as involved as you can. Go to Splash (club fair) in the fall and get all your info there. By getting involved, you'll meet so many people. You'll be surprised how many transfers are at BU!

@@AndieLim ok Thanks!

Hey! Congrats!!! I love studying Political Science at BU. The classes are amazing. So for the major, you'll have to take 3 intro classes. Those are usually very big lectures around 100-200 students. I really recommend taking Intro to International Relations with Schilde. Best professor and class and it's an easy A. Then you take a few upper level classes after that including a graduate seminar. Most of my upper level classes have ranged from 12-60 students. I'm taking a graduate seminar now and there's 14 students including me. My US Media and Politics class has about 60 students. It's probably the largest upper level political science class I've taken so far. I focus on International Relations because I find those classes more interesting and easier for me, so overall I haven't had much difficulty with the classes. The professors want you to succeed and will help you when you need it.

Andie Lim Ahh thank you so much for responding!! I got into CGS London program so I’m still a little on the fence about going but you’re comment helped so much!!

Sorry I have a couple last questions haha, has it been hard trying to find internships for Poli Sci (if you have tried)? Also, does BU help with internships at all?

@@peacegirl5478 So there's a lot of opportunities for political science internships. You could intern with state governments and even the federal government. BU has some internship programs in Boston and NYC and even some study abroad programs with internships included. I'm pretty sure you're guaranteed an internship once you get into those programs and they're fairly easy to get into.

Andie Lim Thank you!!!!

Well it’s been six months is it??

I wanna know also! So...?

Is it?

Is it? BU is my dream school I’d love to know!

Congrats!!! I would say it depends on what you're majoring in and how much you've prepared. I do know that STEM classes are usually on the harder side but as long as you prepare by studying and going to professor office hours I think you'll be fine!

Yeah! I would say so. The frats in Allston always have something going on during the weekends. I'm also in a sorority and I find it to be really fun too

So in this video, it's a west campus dorm, specifically Sleeper Hall. It's a great place for freshman to live but there are other options like Warren Towers in central campus

I'm pretty sure they're on the same campus because I know the law school and the metropolitan school are on the main campus, but the medical school is a separate campus in Boston

Andie Lim thank you so much！

Qiancheng Fu yes

At universities, it's very common to pay for laundry. At BU, you can get convenience points which is just money put on your BU identification card and you can use it at restaurants and convenient stores at BU. If you run out of convenience points, you will typically use your own money to pay for laundry

So I think your GPA does matter but there’s so many things that balance it out. For me, I didn’t have a high GPA when I applied to BU but I did have a higher ACT score and lots of extracurriculars that helped bring my application up a bit

Andie Lim what was your gpa? not to be intruding but some reference would be cool as I am applying!

JustMax I know I’m not Andie lol but I got in with a 3.4 and 1320 SAT

Ella V. you think i have a good chance with a 3.9 gpa and a varsity sport?

JustMax Definitely. They value athletes A LOT (to the point that the schools own athletes get first pick for housing over even non-athlete seniors 😭). So long as you show you’re serious about the school (email them at least once during the admissions process lol, bug them) they’ll definitely accept you.

Thank you!!!! hahahaha
