BU engineering acceptance rate?

I have my eyes set on the engineering program at Boston University. Does anyone know the acceptance rate for their engineering majors? And is it significantly different compared to their regular acceptance rate?

8 months ago

Boston University's overall acceptance rate is around 19%. However, the acceptance rate for their engineering programs, specifically the College of Engineering (ENG), may be slightly different. While I couldn't find the exact acceptance rate for engineering majors, it's important to note that engineering programs at many universities tend to be more competitive than the overall acceptance rate suggests.

That being said, I encourage you to focus on making your application as strong as possible, rather than worrying about the exact acceptance rate. Demonstrate your passion for engineering through related extracurricular activities, emphasize your STEM course rigor, and consider showcasing a few engineering projects or leadership roles in your application. This could help demonstrate your commitment to the field and make you a more appealing candidate for Boston University's engineering program.

Remember that admission to engineering programs is generally holistic, and scores, GPAs, and other credentials are just a part of the overall picture. Make sure to create a balanced application that showcases your strengths and commitment to the field of engineering to stand out among the competition. Good luck!
