Is it possible to transfer out from BU?

I heard numerous complaints about how BU has one of the worst grade deflation

However, at the same time, I have seen some comments in WSO who has transferred out of BU. 

Although maintaining a certain level of GPA is entirely up to one's effort, I was curious if there were any successful cases who transferred out of BU and made into a target school. Is grade deflation that severe compared to other colleges in the States? 

In terms of transferring to a target school which is a better option Colgate vs BU?

 

The average GPA is a B which is pretty fair and certainly not grade "deflation". It has also risen by about 0.1 points a decade, hence, inflation. Do you expect to be given a 4.0 without putting in the work? BU Questrom is not hard and it's quite literally in their best interest to "inflate" grades so that their students can land jobs and internships. 

 

Tons of people transfer out of BU. The grade deflation is just people bitching, it's an easy school and if you want to transfer to a better school you should be able to get a 4.0 before leaving.

 

yes, BU has a 30% transfer acceptance rate since they need to replace everyone that leaves
