Undergraduate Transfer
Hi,
I'm currently a freshman at the University of California Riverside majoring in Business Economics (sadly none of the UC schools have finance, but they have business admin with a concentration in finance). I definitely want to major in finance, so would it be best to continue at this school or transfer to a school with finance. A lot of my potential internships require a finance major.
I'm ready to transfer after my freshman or sophomore year.
Possible schools I was looking into were: U of I Urbana, IU Bloomington, UCLA (junior transfer), UC Berkeley (junior transfer), USC
Thank you for all the advice!
I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, please feel free to change it.
Berkeley, obviously, if you can get in.
Depends on where you want to end up. Cal is recognized nationally, whereas IU is very much recognized on the east coast but less so on the west, with UIUC similar but not as recognized as IU. On the west coast, UCLA and USC are big targets school in the same pool as Stanford and Cal.
I'm assuming you're a California resident.
If you plan to attend UCLA or Berkeley, I would attend a CC. As I understand, all the UCs place priority on California CC students and it's more of a checklist seeing if you have the prerequisites. This is actually true for all transfer students.
I applied to USC, UCLA, and Berkeley as a transfer student. Was accepted to USC & UCLA. If you have any questions regarding how to prepare your application feel free to PM me.
unfortunately I don't have enough points to PM you haha (8 to go). I am a CA resident. I've already thought about CC and decided that it would be best if I attended a four year college. I will try my best to transfer to Berkeley. I have a lot of questions regarding the application timeline and process.
Thanks for the advice luccabananas!
This is so sad...you have been in college for what, 2 weeks? Give your school a chance. If you are dead set on investment banking (which at this point would be ridiculous) then transfer to Berkeley.
I was always set on investment banking. I just want to transfer somewhere else because my school doesn't have strong IB opportunities.
i dont understand what you guys are trying to say... is it a bad thing to plan about IB now?
Lol it is not a bad thing. I wanted to enter McK when I was a high school senior. What you can do now is to plan your schedule accordingly. Take classes and get a high GPA to transfer. IUB would be a good target if you are aiming at midwest schools. I met plenty of grads there at BB superdays for midwest offices. However, if you are taking a shot at SF/NYC banks, try to squeeze into UCB. That should be your best bet.
