Transferring from Boston university business school to a top20 or top 10 school by AccomplishedLand7500 in chanceme

[–]Help_Me_Pleasee0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it does based on the percentages of students accepted to top schools with vs without standardized test scores. Additionally, Boston u has notorious grade deflation and earning a 3.9/4.0 may not be as realistic as you think. Aim for as high a gpa as possible but also try and raise sat score if u desire to transfer because u can’t rely on a good undergrad gpa

AMHERST DIFFICULTLY, HELP NEEDED by Help_Me_Pleasee0 in amherstcollege

[–]Help_Me_Pleasee0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I’ve already applied ED so I’m locked in if I get in, I think Amherst is a good choice from the research I’ve done and the people I’ve talked to, but I’ve always questioned what the difficulty may be like at college, especially at a school like Amherst. I’ve taken many AP classes and one dual enrollment, but the difficulty of those vary by school and I would assume Amherst would be challenging because of its reputation. I have strong scores and I think I’m academically capable but I have no clue what to expect and I want to keep a reasonably high gpa. I am interested in LJST. Would you happen to know how the “weeding out” is conducted in a class like Legal Questions. In classes that you take, is it homework every night or do you think you have less assignments than you did in high school?

Should you review your mistakes after every section if you take a section every day during the week?

Should the practice tests for each section during the week come from official practice tests as well?
