I'm thinking about transferring to Boston Architectural College. Does anyone know when the application deadlines are, and what the process generally involves? I'm trying to plan ahead as I'm currently in my junior year of high school.
Boston Architectural College operates on a rolling admissions basis, which means you can submit your application any time throughout the year. However, if you're looking to start classes in the fall semester, it's recommended that you submit your application by early June. This should give you enough time to ensure all your application materials are submitted before the fall semester begins.
In terms of the process, there are several components to the application. These include:
1. A completed online application form - You can find this on the Boston Architectural College's website.
2. Transcripts from all previously attended schools - You'll need to contact your current and any other schools you've attended to have them send official transcripts to Boston Architectural College.
3. Two letters of recommendation - These can be from instructors, employers, or anyone else who can speak to your academic or professional performance.
4. A portfolio of your work - This is especially important as the Boston Architectural College is primarily focused on design education.
5. A personal essay - This allows you to express why you're interested in the Boston Architectural College and discuss any relevant experiences you might have in the field of architecture and design.
In addition to these steps, you may need to interview with an admissions counselor. This is an opportunity for the school to learn more about you, and for you to learn more about the school and ask any questions.
As a junior in high school and someone who's planning to transfer, it's important to ensure that you are keeping up with your current academic responsibilities, focusing on gaining relevant experiences, and maintaining a strong academic record. Good luck with your preparations!
