Does anyone have a list of what Boston College requires for transfer applications? I'm planning on applying but want to make sure I gather everything needed in advance.
The Boston College transfer application process has several main components. Here's an overview:
1. Common Application: Boston College utilizes the Common Application for transfer students. Create an account and apply directly from there.
2. Transfer College Report: You would need to submit a transfer college report from each institution you have attended.
3. College Transcripts: Official transcript records from each college or university you have attended are required. Include a transcript from your current school, showing your academic performance for at least one semester. High school transcripts are not required for transfer students.
4. Academic Evaluation: You need one recommendation from a professor who can comment on your academic abilities.
5. Mid-Term Report: Once you've completed half a term of coursework at your current institution, fill out and submit the Mid-Term Report form showing your academic performance thus far. This is particularly important if you're applying for the Spring semester.
6. Application Fee: There is a non-refundable $80 fee, which must be paid through the Common Application platform.
For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Boston College is test-optional, which means SAT and ACT scores are not required but will be considered if submitted.
You should submit all these materials by the application deadline. For spring semester transfer, the deadline is November 1, while fall semester transfer applications should be submitted by March 15.
Make sure to monitor your transfer application status on the Boston College Agora Portal. Boston College will use this portal to request any additional information, and to ultimately release admissions decisions.
Keep in mind that this is a general guide, so it's always a good idea to check the Boston College website for any updates or additional information. Good luck with your application!
