Freshman Applicants

At Boston University, we’re looking for achievers who will succeed academically and thrive in our community—a diverse mix of students with a wide variety of interests, talents and goals. The Board of Admissions reviews every application carefully to decide who will be offered admission.

Here are the factors we consider:

Your high school performance

Your standardized test scores

Other personal qualifications

We like to see what you’ve done outside of class: your activities — both in school and in your community — and after-school jobs. We also look for activities in which your experiences or interests match the opportunities available at BU. Your special skills, talents and accomplishments are also important in our review process.

Your application essay

This is an important part of your application because it demonstrates what you think and how clearly you express yourself. It’s also an opportunity for us to learn who you are beyond your grades and standardized test scores. Let your voice come through in your essay — this will help us better understand what distinguishes you from other applicants.
