Best business schools that accept junior transfers?
Currently applying to colleges for my junior year. Alot of top bus schools don't accept juniors or you need to be there for a semester thus I am applying for econ St alot of them. What are semi to target bus schools that accept junior direct transferable???
Hey Bud,
I go to a West Coast University (STAN/CAL/USC/UCLA) and can provide some color from what I have seen. Stanford is obviously quite a long shot for transfers compared to the other 3. If you have a top GPA (ie 3.9-4) then Berkeley should be reasonable, depending on miscellaneous other factors (ie Essay, Extra Curriculars, etc.). If you want to work in SF, Berkeley hands down places the best (compared to USC/UCLA). USC/UCLA take ALOT of transfers (especially from community colleges). USC/UCLA are great schools if you want to recruit for Los Angeles banks -- all of the San Francisco banks hit them up as well (the same can be said for Berkeley with Los Angeles -- although most Bears stay in SF vs. USC/UCLA). Conclusion is the following. If you want to work in SF, then do your best to get to Berkeley, however, USC/UCLA will still be recruited by all the heavy hitters. If you want to work in LA, then I suggest transferring to USC/UCLA (USC has a stronger alumni, UCLA has a stronger brand name - both place equally well in LA). UCLA/USC typically take students with 3.7-4.0 range and Berkeley is more strict at 3.9-4.0. For Stanford, the data points are so few that it cannot be reasonably discussed. Least to say, I am sure you are looking for transfer friendly schools in NYC. However, I hope my insight about West Coast schools that are very open to transfer (USC/UCLA significantly more than Berkeley) in case that transition seems more plausible and reasonable than a NYC transfer.
Wish you the best OP and good luck!
Don't know what region you're targeting, but Cornell does. Their AEM program places pretty well, and if you can't get in there, the Econ program can work too.
Has anyone on here transferred to a target after finishing junior year? (Originally Posted: 08/15/2010)
Going to a crappy state school on a full ride
Looking to transfer to a target/semi-target after finishing this year (my junior year)
Has anyone done this before?
why don't you just email the admissions.
You may have to do two more years in order to earn a degree from their school.
yea..remember that they want you to have the "target's" education..
so for most classes you'll be taking in your first 2 years are considered basic/introductory (i.e. econ, calc)
the classes that you take in your junior are usually focused on your major and those you need to take at the school. so only the intro credits will transfer over and you'll be starting as a junior thereby effectively wiping out / wasting one year's time and tuition at the tier 3 state school.
its a pros vs. cons scenario. remember that education is continuous and although pedigree is important, who you know and what you can do trump the pedigree.
I'm okay with doing two years at a target (not really losing any money by doing junior year here)
The only problem with this school is that there is exactly 1 alumnus who works in IB (at a boutique). Even getting a Big Four internship from this school is a struggle, which is why I have to get out.
Some schools have caps on the amount of credits for applicants. If you do transfer though be prepared to explain why you chose to take this route other than to network/continue to work hard where you are. Adding another year could also be a little tricky for some internship programs that want specific standings for their interns.
.....
what are you doing at a tier 3 state school with a 2350 SAT?
you can probably transfer, but you will have to go on the 5 year plan
@merunforfun
60 credits generally ends up being the maximum you can transfer.
@mbrown10012
I will definitely look into that, but this school is free for me, which is why I want to take advantage of it for another semester for upper level classes
@Affirmative_Action
I came to this tier 3 state school for financial reasons that have since been resolved.
