College Admission Officers

Thank you for your interest in Boston University Academy. As former admission officers, we understand the service you provide our students as you race around the country meeting with as many high schoolers as you can, decipher hundreds (or thousands!) of transcripts, wade through essays and teacher recommendations, and ultimately try to find the right match between qualified candidates and your institution. We hope the information provided here facilitates your experience visiting our campus and/or reading applications from bbin娱乐平台 students.

Reading bbin娱乐平台 Student Applications

As you read our students’ applications, please do not hesitate to be in touch with any questions. We hope that our transcripts, school forms (when used in place of standard forms), and recommendation letters are clear and informative. The following links may be helpful in understanding our program:

Visiting Boston University Academy

We typically host between 65 and 80 visiting college admission officers each fall. Admission representatives meet with interested seniors (and sometimes juniors) in the College Office. If no students are available, one of us will meet with you to learn more about your institution. Please click here to access our calendar of available visit times and to book your appointment.

We are located in the middle of the Boston University campus, immediately next to the George Sherman Union (with a Starbucks, a food court, a convenience store, and ATMs).

Nearby schools that you may consider visiting before or after bbin娱乐平台: Winsor School (Boston), Commonwealth School (Boston), Match Charter School (Boston), Brookline HS (Brookline), BB&N (Cambridge), or Cambridge Rindge & Latin (Cambridge).

Due to the unpredictability of traffic and public transportation, we encourage you to allow a few extra minutes for your travel time to campus.
