transferring while in graduate MBA school

are business schools setup the same as undergrad setup where i can transfer if i have the grades? my future situation is probably NYU Stern for part time and then transfer to Columbia for full time. is that possible?

 

First of all, NYU is fine. It's a notch down from Columbia, but you'll still get a good job. Have you already started? If so, I think you're stuck. If you can just wait, why not finish your CFA and then apply to CBS?

 

Most schools do not let you transfer in the middle of a MBA program (I know both Columbia and NYU do not). Also you mentioned that you are working, I believe Columbia only has a full time program, however I am not positive on that one.

 

You would have to apply for the full time program and none of the current credits would transfer. You would also have to explain why you decided to stop part time and do full time in your essdays.

 

i'm a part time student... so i've only taken about 5 classes the whole year... so it wouldn't be doing a whole yr all over again... Also, if you can transfer from...lets say nyu part time mba to a columbia full time... wouldnt it be worth it?

 

No there is not a backdoor to the top MBA programs. I looked into this myself, but it would go against everything a program tries to build into your foundation in year 1.
