hi caninnus,

Yes i think it would be ok to send the packeage before ahnd so that once the application opens up all u have to do is submite an online application. From my experience BU is one of th schools which has the most efficient method of handling aplications when they are submitted. I remember i had submitted my application in the last week of october last year and when i called them up a week later to check whether they had recieved everything i was told that they had and they even told me my interview date. so yes, you might consider sending you package before hand.

one more thing is that if you send notarized copies of all your documnets, (eg. Part 1 score, TOEFL, Transcripts) with the package they will review your file and not really wait till the originals reach them. You will have to see that originals reach before your interview date. So that is nice too.
Anymore help needed let me know.

notarized copies are enough and you dont need to send original. Just take original documents to interview, and if they want to see original then show them.

Hi,
is it ok if we have the notarized copies from the college (i,e got notarised on photocopies from college and witha seal and sign of principal)and not notorised here in US???

Hi Krishna,
I got mine letters,Transcripts,Degree certificate attested them in India.All the schools i applied to BU,NYU,UCSF acceoted them.Don't think you should have any problem if you have your Principal's sign and seal on it.Good Luck!

i have a question to pinktooth or any former boston applicant, do we have to submit the CV and the SOP online with the online application? or we have to submit it seperately?
thanks

 

[pinkpeanuts]

HI Caninus,
You have a provision to type in your SOP in your online application.You don't have to send it in seperately.I don't think BU asks for your CV,just your Sop is required.Good luck.

do u guys mean the four yr bds marksheets as transcripts? or is it different?

 

[pinkpeanuts]

Hi Dental Doc,
Yes your transcripts are your BDS marks cards,however my college also provided me with a transcript certificate.This was very similar to an ece report,it had my subjects,marks scored and a grade next to it.I sent in both my notarised marks cards and this certificate(notarised again).
Your CV is 'Curriculum Vitae',its like your resume.Think UCLA asks for one to be sent in with your application.Good luck.

hi friends,
I had applied to Bu in Feb this year only to find out that my application didn't reach in time .I was planning on reactivating my application for admission next year.I mailed them but haven't received any reply yet.
Could anyone tell me about the procedure for reactivation of our application? do we have to send in a fresh application and fee or is it enough to just send in the fee? any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
Good luck to all with their applications and stuff...

hey Pinktooth, how r things going with your admission? when are your classes starting? Best wishes with everything.

 

[pinktooth]

Hi caninus,
I had written my SOP online and I had sent my CV too just to give them a good impression of my achievements
If you have prepared a good CV there is no harm in sending

 

[pinktooth]

Hi elementz,
My classes are starting from the 2nd of August.
I think the procedure of reapplication is simply reactivate the online application by paying the fee and make any changes(Scores,work ex) and call them and ask them whether they have recieved the rest of the documents.
Take care
