I'm looking into BU but it's kind of daunting not knowing how selective they are. Can anyone tell me what Boston University's acceptance rate is? Any insights from current students or applicants would be stellar!
Sure, happy to provide some guidance! Boston University is a fairly competitive school to get into. As of recent data, Boston University reported an 14% acceptance rate. This number changes every year, depending on the competitive nature of the applicant pool, so it serves as an approximate figure to the selectiveness of the university.
Keep in mind that while the acceptance rate might seem daunting, admission depends on various factors, including academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, essays, and more. In general, successful applicants to Boston University have strong GPAs, rigorous coursework, and dynamic extracurricular profiles.
Hearing from current students or recent applicants may provide some insights. They could share their experiences with the application process and their personal strategies for success. Remember to thoroughly review all application requirements and deadlines, and consider seeking advice from your high school counselor or a college admissions coach to help you through the process. You've got this!
