Hey, I'm working on my transfer application for Boston College and wanted to make sure I have everything I need. Can someone share what the checklist looks like so I don't miss anything important?
Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that. Here's a generalized Boston College transfer application checklist:
1. Common Application: Boston College uses the Common Application for transfer students, so be sure you've thoroughly completed this.
2. College Transcript(s): You'll need to submit an official college transcript from all post-secondary institutions you've attended.
3. High School Transcript: This is still required even though you're a transfer applicant.
4. College Report: The Common Application’s College Report must be submitted by a college official who has access to both your academic and disciplinary information.
5. Academic Evaluation: An academic evaluation from a faculty member at your current institution who can speak to your academic abilities.
6. Mid-Term Grade Report: Transfer applicants currently enrolled in a college or university must submit their Mid-Term Grade Report by March for fall admission and by November for spring admission.
7. Application Fee: There is an $80 non-refundable fee for applying to Boston College. If the fee poses a financial hardship you may request a fee waiver on the Common Application.
8. Optional Interview: While not required, if you have the opportunity to schedule an interview it could help your application stand out more.
Please remember to check the Boston College transfer admissions page on their website for any updates or additional requirements for your specific situation. Good luck with your application!
