I'm planning to apply to BU through regular decision. Can anyone confirm when their deadline is? Also, any words of wisdom for the BU application process would be much appreciated!
Boston University's Regular Decision application deadline is January 6. Just note that while the application is due on this date, some supplementary materials might be due later, but it's always a good idea to submit everything by the deadline to ensure that your file is considered complete.
When it comes to applying to BU, a few tips you may want to bear in mind:
1. BU's application doesn't just revolve around academic strength; they also place significant importance on the activities you’re involved in outside the classroom. So try to provide a clear picture of who you are not only as a student but also as a member of your community.
2. BU requires one essay. Make sure your response is unique and tells the college something about you that they can't glean from your stats or extracurriculars. It should give them a sense of your personality, your values, or what you can contribute to BU's campus.
3. Even though BU remains test-optional, if you have an SAT or ACT score that falls within their typically accepted range and you believe it strengthens your overall application, you should consider submitting it.
Remember to check over your application thoroughly before submitting it, ensuring all sections are complete and there are no mistakes. Good luck with your application!
