Semi Non-target.....
What the fuck
GTown is a solid target. Do it
FratLord would you look at this shit.....
Great post here by "CommoditiesLover67". This guy sure loves commodities. He should write his application essay on how much he loves commodities. Georgetown is a hard school to get into, but as long as they know how much you love commodities you should be good. Just let them know you absolutely cannot get enough of those stiff, fleshy, oblong commodities. Every morning he wakes up and takes a wack to the face from a nice erect commodity before heading to the meat market and swallowing some commodities whole. If this guy could have a commodity in each hand and one laid across his chin at the same time, he'd be the happiest commodity lover in the world. What else can CommoditiesLover67 say - he just really loves commodities.
god bless you FratLord
Georgetown is NF though
this sounds like a hypothetical situation but if not then yes no brainer
If you transfer to Georgetown, you will still be competing with other Georgetown kids for the SA gigs that they recruit on-campus for. I don't know how transfers are viewed by the on-campus recruiters, but I doubt they'd view you more favorably than someone who has been there all 4 years.
As such, if you wanted to maximize your chance of landing a spot, you will likely need to network aggressively with alumni. While Georgetown may have a better alumni network in banking, UMD does have a fair number of people (alot of the people at more senior levels are post-MBA) as a result of having a large population of students from the Tri-state area who move to NY after school.
So if you want to maximize your chances, then I'd say yes, transferring would do that. I do believe that the benefit would be marginal and might not be worth the hassle when you will likely have to do the same work at Georgetown for the same outcome.
A lot of good points in this thread, specifically you may have been a big fish in a small pond previously but at gtown it'll probably be way more competitive. My Uni was pretty close to GTown in its rankings and so we get a lot of transfers from non-targets - they're 9 times out of 10 successful because they're able to transfer successfully (ie: joining the finance clubs and getting to know the kids that have been there for all four years, etc). But - I think the more important question is whether you have relevant internship experience to finance prior to the transfer. I know a buddy at GTown who did internal transfers into the business program - couldn't find a business internship down there in DC. I personally would say it's def worth transferring for the name - I dont think alumni will care whether you've been there since freshman year or were a transfer. A student is a student I'd say.
