Help me compile a list of schools to apply as a transfer
I am currently at a non target/semi target at best. 4.0 GPA finance major. ECs are pretty good (fraternity, investment club, finance club,economics club,consulting club) and would like to put in a few transfer apps for a junior transfer. I would like to major in finance, but have no issue with economics. I have viewed the "comprehensive transfer school list" many times and would like some more individualized guidance/advice.
as far as schools that have an undergrad business school Georgetown MSB seems to be the place where I would be most competitive. the only other schools with business programs off the top of my head are NYU Stern, Wharton, Ross, and Cornell AEM (have not taken any biology so probably will not even bother applying) and all of these schools have ridiculous low acceptance rates. Should I even waste my time applying?
If I was to apply as an econ major, I really do not know where I would have a reasonable shot at getting in.
Georgetown MSB
Stern?
Wharton?
Ross?
duke (econ)
are any of the Ivies (including Penn cas) worth applying to as an econ major, or would I have zero chance?
I would like to transfer from my current university, not because it is impossible to break in (kids make it to wall street every year), but I want to obtain the best education that I possibly can, and getting accepted into any of these schools would be a great opportunity.
I am trying to develop a plan of action for how I am going to begin this process. any suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated!
Add UVA McIntire to your list
aren't the majority of UVA transfer students from community colleges? Would I have a decent shot at Georgetown?
It's about 2/3 CC students - that doesn't mean you can't make it though. If you're competitive for Georgetown you're competitive for McIntire.
there is a great blog post on the best transfer schools for IB right here: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/the-comprehensive-list-of-transfer-…
hope that helps! Patrick
non target/ semi target/ target are for banking nomenclature they mean nothing to the schools that you are applying to transfer to for example, NYU is a target, and CalTech isn't even though CalTech is vastly superior
http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/na… if your school does not fall somewhere on the top 50 of this list (or top 25 of LACs), i believe you have a low chance of getting int the ivys (cornell doesn't count) and duke- that's just me though however, it never hurts to apply (barring app fees and time), so you can try
Not quite transfer friendly, but perhaps you could add Dartmouth too
Dartmouth accepted 15 transfer students this year out of an applicant pool of roughly 800. That's a less than 2% transfer rate. Also, they use their transfer program to draw students to the school who would not normally come by way of normal freshman admissions, i.e. military veterans or other non traditional student types. Seven of us who were admitted were veterans, don't know about the rest. Basically, if you are not a veteran applying as a transfer to Dartmouth or some other wacky life story that could contribute to the student body, you have a .5% chance of getting in.
Cayo275, thats something Ive noticed quite a bit with successful transfer applicants. It seems like one of the only hooks that actually matters is if you are a veteran. Stanford cares enough about getting veterans to transfer that they actually have a summer semester program to help veterans prepare to transfer to top academic programs. Did you by any chance work out of the Seattle/Tacoma area before you went off to school?
Ross is a three year program so take that into consideration. There is a good chance most schools will nuke your transfer credits. It may not pay to transfer, but with that GPA I wouldn't worry about being accepted. Apply for fee waivers and swing for the fences. Stanford, Columbia, Dartmouth etc.
In addition to what you've already written, I'd look at Emory, Haas and UNC Chapel Hill. But the bottom line is, apply to all of the targets and go wherever has the best financial aid package. The last thing you need is massive debt hanging over your head.
Stern has an acceptance rate of 1% for external transfers, so keep that in mind.
Would it be legal to set up a "school" named Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with an unpublished admission rate and undisclosed location that charges a $50 application and wizardry screening fee and will send you an acceptance letter by owl or a rejection letter by mail?
I'm pretty sure you would face some hefty copyright infringement lawsuits.
I could probably get into Ross if I transferred to U of M lsa for the winter semester and then applied to Ross the same semester I transferred there. I would not have a GPA at U of M, so I am not sure how they would look at my application. If I did not get accepted to Ross, the transfer would not be worth it, so I would probably rather transfer directly into something (like Georgetown MSB), but I am still collecting information about Ross admissions. How difficult is it to transfer to Columbia Econ?
U Texas- mccombs UNC-Kenan-Flagler Vanderbilt I would check deadlines, you may be too late to transfer this year
