Seeking advice on transferring from finance to econ, despite finance aspirations
I'm currently a rising sophomore at a lower semi-target majoring in Finance and Accounting, and I'm considering transferring to a more "target" school for finance. UChicago is my top choice, but like many target schools, it only offers an Economics major at the undergraduate level.
All of my involvement so far—clubs, internships, coursework—has been geared toward finance, so it feels a bit tough to pivot my narrative to Econ, especially since I'm already studying Finance. My concern is: when schools ask about “Why transfer?” or “Why this major?”, should I still be upfront about my goal of breaking into finance and how their school gives me better opportunities for that? Especially since I am already majoring in finance at my current school.
I’ve heard that schools don’t like it when it seems like you’re only transferring for career reasons, so I’m trying to figure out how to frame my application. Should I still lean into my finance goals but connect them to the academic value of the Econ major? Would appreciate any thoughts or advice from people who’ve been through the process.
