BU Undergraduate Recommendation Letters?

Hello everyone! I'm stressing about my BU application and was hoping you can put my mind at ease. I wanted to know about BU’s policy on recommendation letters. Is there a specific number required by BU for their undergraduate applications?

Absolutely, happy to help! Boston University (BU) typically requires two letters of recommendation for undergraduate admission. One should ideally be from your school counselor and one from a teacher of a core academic subject. However, these are just suggestions and they are willing to consider recommendations from anyone who knows you well and can offer perspective on who you are as a student. You can submit these letters through the Common Application.

If you're applying to certain specific programs within BU, there might be additional recommendation letters required, so make sure you check the program-specific requirements. Remember - a well-written and detailed recommendation from people who know you could help your application significantly and could give BU a better understanding of your personality and potential. So take some time to think about who would be the best people to ask for these recommendations. Good luck!
