Should I transfer to Baruch from Pace?
I am a rising Junior at Pace, I know it's not that great of a school so should I transfer to Baruch? I wouldn't be able to transfer to most other schools because that would require me having to retake many credits (which my parents won't pay for) but since Baruch will accept up to 90 credits I will be able to transfer there without having to retake anything.
But should I? Do you think that I would have better chances at Baruch, or is Baruch similar to Pace and would transferring there not improve my situation. Thanks.
Martin Shkreli went to Baruch. Seems to be doing pretty well.
LoL
I don't necesarily think it's a bad decision but I don't see it impacting your future all that much, especially with 1-2 years left.
Yeah I probably won't go through with it. Hopefully I can get a decent job at a boutique from Pace. They do have a decent internship program and are in NYC.
I don't think it's that useful TBH. Pace isn't Columbia or NYU type of upgrade for worth, and you have to sink into a very different environment, get used to it fast, and recruit for whatever you want. On top of tuition calculation and the fuss of transfer, I wouldn't do it if I was you.
I would say it actually is worth it. Baruch does place better on the street, so if that's your goal, I think I'd take the plunge
But Baruch is also 50% larger than Pace so when you say "place better" are you talking about raw number or the actual percent of the graduating class.
Lateral move, not worth it. Especially if cost isn't an issue. Places like Fordham, Rutgers, Syracuse would be legit steps up but if those schools wont transfer your credits then best option is to finish strong at Pace and plot post undergrad strategy.
What should that strategy consist of though? Should I start studying for the gmat and aim for mba or should I start studying for the CFA? Or both?
Depends on what your specific career goals are. What caliber MBA program will you have a shot at fresh out of undergrad vs a few years of experience? The timing of your CFA study will prob depend on the answer to that first question. How much will the CFA improve your chances for an elite grad school? What caliber job will you be able to get out of the gate after undergrad? If you can nab a good career path job after graduation and get CFA, would you even need the MBA in the future?
