So Long, Farewell, and Thanks for All the Fishes (Almost)! Withdrawing Your Boston University Application
Hey there, future Terriers (or maybe not-so-future Terriers anymore?). We've all been there. You hit submit on your Boston University application with the enthusiasm of a squirrel discovering a mountain of acorns, only to realize later your heart belongs to another college (or maybe squirrels – no judgment). Fear not, fellow applicant! Withdrawing your application is easier than explaining to your parents why your browser history is suddenly full of squirrel documentaries.
The Great Escape: How to Withdraw Your BU Application
There are two main scenarios to consider, depending on when you applied:
Early Decision Applicant? You're on a Clock: If you applied Early Decision (ED), you have a special time limit to withdraw your application. Contact your admissions officer ASAP to see if it's still possible. They'll be happy to guide you through the withdrawal process, though they might shed a tiny tear – BU is a pretty awesome place, after all!
Regular Decision Applicant? Breathe Easy: If you applied Regular Decision, you have more wiggle room. Here's what you need to do:
- Channel Your Inner Olympian: Head over to the Boston University Metropolitan College applicant help center – yes, that's right, even if you're not applying to Metro College. Think of it as the application withdrawal decathlon – a test of your resourcefulness! (
help.liaisonedu.com - Embrace the Phone: Alternatively, you can call a friendly BU Metropolitan College admissions officer at 617-353-6000. Don't worry, they won't quiz you on squirrel trivia.
- Channel Your Inner Olympian: Head over to the Boston University Metropolitan College applicant help center – yes, that's right, even if you're not applying to Metro College. Think of it as the application withdrawal decathlon – a test of your resourcefulness! (
Important Note: Withdrawing your application is permanent. There's no "come back later" option, so make sure you're absolutely positive before you hit that metaphorical eject button.
