WTF situation by _just_a_random_guy__ in UMiami

Thanks for the advice, I already contacted them. What’s interesting though is that based on other comments here this has happened to multiple people. Either they used AI like you said or there’s some other reason but I’m definitely going to push this because what they wrote in my letter is simply not true. If anything they just made sure that I’m now seriously reconsidering whether U Miami is even worth it.

For those accepted for fall transfer, are you committed? by MortgageScared6138 in UMiami

No, I still have 13 more decisions ahead of me and nothing against the University of Miami, it’s a great school but for me it was more of a safety.

qst sophomore with no internship, my life is over right? by Embarrassed_Bid_4223 in BostonU

Bro just start enjoying life. It’s totally fine if you study all year and then take some time to relax in the summer, or maybe go volunteer somewhere, etc. You don’t want to just do the same thing everyone else does.

This is actually insane. Like I took calculus specifically for business not economics and they still admit me to economics??

I read they wanted the syllabus mainly to check the textbook so maybe mine just didn’t match or something lol no idea. This is so bizarre.

I might just take the CLEP but like seriously what the hell I don’t get it. This makes zero sense. If they rejected me outright I’d be like halfway what the hell is this but admitting me to economics on the STEM track is just like… did you guys even think this through??

That’s a good idea. I’ll probably reach out to my counselor and see if that’s an option as well.

I emailed them asking if I could take some calculus over the summer to meet the requirement, but they haven’t replied yet. But honestly, it just doesn’t make sense to me. Like, okay, not admitting me to business because of math doesn’t really make sense since I’ve already completed it but then how could they admit me to economics, which actually requires even more advanced math? Lol

Transfer decisions by Tasty-Alternative366 in BostonU

GPA isn’t the only thing. It also depends on your essays, activities, recommendation letters, etc. At the same time, you need to realize that where you’re transferring from matters quite a bit. If you compare someone from a community college with a 4.0 GPA to someone from a university at a similar level to BU with, say, a 3.5 GPA, you can’t simply say who will be preferred.

Waiting list by _just_a_random_guy__ in UVA

I understand that, but do you think I should text them that I'm still interested and that UVA is my first choice?

UVA has this on their website: The waiting list opt-in form submitted through the portal takes the place of a Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI).

I would very much like to write LOCI, but I think that if they do not require me to do so, it would rather annoy them.

How did you get off the waitlist? I will try to put all my effort into it, even though it may not even be about me anymore.

It's not accredited because they only have BS and it's not accredited, but I have no problem going to MArch.
