small LAC vs Boston College
I’m thinking of transferring from a small LAC that basically has no finance alumni to boston college for MCAS.
BOSTON COLLEGE PROS
- It’s BOSTON COLLEGEEEEEE
- more finance recruiting. idk how it’d be different if im in mcas, but im minoring in finance so hopefully my chances are better at BC then my current
cons: i think it might either be 70-90k a year………
would i be able to transfer to BC and recruit for IB for after graduation?
whats the LAC
haverford
good school and probably harder to get into then BC but yeah transfer, haverford just has no name at all. Good luck.
Haverford is not a no-name school — have a bunch of friends went there. Academic / education experience is wayyy better and if you are freshmen I will rather take another year for transfer app to USN T15 UG or 3+2 with Penn/Columbia
go BC all the way and don’t look back. Even in MCAS, many students go into finance with an Econ major finance minor combo
but for graduation recruitment, would there still be spots open?

You said you have a summer internship lined up. Why transfer if you could just convert to FT? Recruiting could be challenging regardless of Uni
.
If you’re in MCAS you don’t have access to the CSOM career center which is exclusive for CSOM kids. There’s only 500 kids in CSOM (250 are in finance) and roughly 75-100 from the entire school (CSOM +MCAS) get into IB. Make sure to minor in finance it’s worth it.
Is it 500 in one grade or 500 in the entire undergrad csom population?
If you transfer starting your junior year then you have about a month and a half to get up to speed on finance industry knowledge your LAC didn't teach you, get good at interviewing, recruit and secure an internship before late on-cycle ends.
If you fail at this then you'll be without a job or you settle for an internship at a small shop you probably could have gotten by networking while at your LAC anyway, but you'll also have a shit ton of debt and less free time b/c your classes are harder too. But you'll at least have more fun (hopefully) in the free time you do have so there's that.
