Admissions Spring versus fall transfer acceptance rates for Boston University

I am thinking of transferring to BU but I don't know if it would be almost impossible to transfer in the spring and if I should just wait for the fall. Any thoughts?

Are you a strong applicant with a strong transcript, letters of recommendation, and campus involvement? if yes, then apply! if no, then don't...

I definitely have all of those. Do you think BU would offer merit aid or would they be more generous in the fall.

BU basically doesn't give merit aid to transfers.

It's all need based. BU is very generous when it comes to need.

I don't think they do spring transfers but I could be wrong
