I major in either accounting/finance and am transferring from a community college in Cali soon. Please, not something like ASU, CSUC, Cal Poly or those stuffs.
Can’t afford something like UCB Haas, USC Marshall, or NYU. but my GPA is around 3.8ish, can’t tell the final score yet since I’m not done with CC.
I’m looking for schools at the range of $30000/year or very close to that, preferably school that offers merit scholarships to international students.
Schools with big international student body would do a wonder. I am thinking about view names like Illinois-UC, IU-Kelley, UT-McCombs, UofMaryland, or even OSU/PSU if worth it.
Any suggestions on the best valued schools? I would truly appreciate recommendations out of my list!
UIUC is known for its terrible merit, even for in-state students. I’m not sure about Maryland for international students, but it’s not super generous for U.S. students, so I doubt it would meet your financial goals, either. I can’t help with the rest of the list.
Keep in mind that you’ll be a transfer student, and that an overwhelming number of school scholarships are awarded to freshmen only. One avenue might be to look at some of the private schools that offer business, even if that isn’t their focus. A large scholarship from one of them could bring the cost down into your range.
@Alexandre do they offer merit for int’l transfer students?
The problem this student faces is few schools give merit to int’l transfer students. There may be a couple, but it sounds like this student wants higher ranking schools.

None of those would be $30k per year, and none give merit to int’l transfers.
Schools generally don’t give much money to transfer students or to international students. And they give even less (if anything at all) to int’l transfer students.
Your best opportunity to get merit money was as a newly entering freshman, because college rankings are based on the stats of newly entering freshman. There’s nothing in it for colleges to give merit money to transfer students.
If you’re too high and mighty for * “…ASU, CSUC, Cal Poly or those stuffs.”*, then why didn’t you just go a fancier name school in the first place?
ASU WP Carey School of Business is far better than the other more expensive schools, and is 5th in the country in number of international students. Check it out.
