Anyone know what major at boston uni has the highest acceptance rate or do they accept by college/school chosen
fast sparrow
so what school has the highest acceptance rate
and would I be able to switch to CS if I get in to another school
mint root
comp sci is in the arts and sciences
if you applied undecided you’ll be admitted into CAS and can switch into cs with ease
fast sparrow
oh ok
tranquil pasture
im assuming the business school is the hardest to get into
fast sparrow
oh ok
neon grotto
yea qeustrom is most likely single digits
fast sparrow
so ig im fine staying with Cs
mint root
either questrom or sargent
neon grotto
also every uni says they accept by school and not by major but its like a gray area
mint root
bu doesn’t care that much about major
junior hawk
bu accepts by school
fast sparrow
why is undecided and cs the same school?
neon grotto
ik but an applicant probably has easier chances as an undecided vs cs
junior hawk
its their cas school
neon grotto
since theres a lot more cs applicants
mint root
i applied as a cs major without like any cs experience and somehow got deferred
undecided def has more applicants
like 30% get in undecided
junior hawk
i dont think major has much significance
fast sparrow
so i should keep cs
junior hawk
mostly how much they can accept to each school
junior hawk
so i should keep cs
yeah if ur app shows interest for cs why not
mint root
it won’t help you that much to switch your major
mint root
it’s a miracle i didn’t get rejected 💀
fast sparrow
is BU midyear report mandatory?
tranquil pasture
I applied as a computer science and business major without any cs experience too and i got in
mint root
yea I have some cs experience and cs ap classes

my sat score was low so I didnt submit
so I am at a major disadvantage
compared to other applicants

i don’t see the point in it, other than a potential gpa boost

undone summit
why double?
fast sparrow
same here it’s def getting better

probably cause they start off at like geometry freshmen year

what school is this for? i’m assuming BU
i think i’m gonna email my regional admissions officer and go from there
wintry knoll
i read online, if your loci is short, then write it in the email
if its like one page, then send it as an attachment, so they can add it to your file

What if they write off my app before I sent the email?
fervent hazel
were you deferred ED2?
if so, they deferred you for a reason. they don't immediately write off apps — i'd suggest getting the LOCI in sooner rather than later if you know you won't have any new awards & such to update them with, but if you've got smth in the next few weeks you can wait

hopefully there was a reason and it wasnt just a mass deferrel

lmao i was just informed that there's no bs in cs at bu
ba is no different tho
in terms on degree matters
mint root
it doesn’t matter much for job hunting it does for grad school
a ba in cs means you take a foreign language/liberal arts cirriculum meanwhile a bs is more math and science courses

it doesn't matter
transfers are easy
i'm a horrible applicant lmfao

Yeah BS and BA is no different in the end cs is how you apply yourself
Plus BS harder math 💀

i was torn between cs ce and ds and applied to cs

i wanted to study abroad there's like no room for it
you can but there’s a lot less locations and flexiblliry

the place i wanted doesn't have any ce-related courses
so it'd probably be impossible
