What are BU's guaranteed transfer requirements?

I heard about Boston University's Guaranteed Transfer program, but I'm not sure of the exact requirements I need to meet. Can someone please provide me with more information regarding this program? Any help would be awesome!

Boston University's Guaranteed Transfer (GT) program is designed for students who are offered admission through this pathway after being initially denied as a freshman applicant. To participate in the GT program, you must enroll full-time at another accredited institution, and follow the guidelines provided by Boston University.

Here are the main Guaranteed Transfer requirements you need to be aware of:

1. Coursework: During your first year at the other accredited institution, you must complete a full year of courses that follow the BU's College of Arts & Science guidelines. They include taking a specific number of credits in English, math, science, language, and humanities or social sciences. For detailed course requirements, it's recommended to check with your BU admissions counselor.

2. GPA Requirement: You will be required to maintain a certain cumulative GPA in your first year at the other institution. The exact GPA threshold may vary depending on the specific GT program and college within BU, but generally you can generally expect that you'll need to maintain a minimum GPA of at least a 3.0.

3. Full-time status: You must maintain full-time status at the other institution throughout your first year.

4. No additional college credits: You should not earn any more college credits after high school graduation before enrolling at the other institution for the Guaranteed Transfer program.

5. Good standing: You are expected to remain in good academic and disciplinary standing at the other institution.

It's important to note that these guidelines are general in nature and the specific requirements may vary by college within BU, as well as the details of your individual GT offer. Be sure to consult with your BU admissions counselor and review your Guaranteed Transfer requirements thoroughly to ensure you meet all the criteria to successfully transfer to Boston University, if you are offered this pathway.

While the GT program is a great alternative path to acceptance, transferring schools can still be stressful, and plus, BU is quite a selective school, so your application needs to be compelling for you to be considered for GT. Best of luck!
