<p>So I am getting done with all the paper work for transferring to the business schools below. Do I have any shot at any of the schools of my choice?
My stats:
Polytechnic University (68 credits complete by the end of my second year)
Major: Business & Tech. Management
GPA: 3.53
SAT 1280/1600
EC:
Baseball Team, a management club, operations intern at a publishing comp.</p>
<p>Schools I am applying to:
NYU-CAS (econ) (Would prefer to apply to stern, do you think i have a shot at any of these?)
Fordham (Finance)
CUNY - Baruch (I pretty sure this is a show in)
Boston College
Cornell
SUNY - Binghamton
Northeastern U</p>
<p>nyu-somewhat decent
fordham- very good
cuny-baruch-accepted
bc- slim
cornell-very slim
suny-binghamton-good to very good
northeastern- good to very good</p>
<p>thanks alot boston....if i can bother u guys for one more question..........Do you guys know if admissions take into consideration difficulty of courses and also improvement among grades (I had a 3.0 my first semester and after that about a 3.76 from then on)</p>
<p>by difficulty do you mean higher level course? i don't think college really care if your professor was challenging but they do care if you look high level classes. I think they would take your improvement of GPA into account.</p>
<p>Aren't Polytech and NYU merging?</p>
<p>With 68 units done, most of these schools will not be looking too much at your SATs--instead admission will be based upon the GPA and the courses you took.</p>
<p>NYU-CAS (econ) (Would prefer to apply to stern, do you think i have a shot at any of these?)--match to slight reach at CAS econ (you would be match at any other school in CAS but econ), very slight reach at stern (depends upon courses taken and grades in major area and reason given for transfer there)
Fordham (Finance)--real good chance (match)
CUNY - Baruch (I pretty sure this is a shoe in)--agree, safe match
Boston College--slight reach
Cornell--reach
SUNY - Binghamton--safe match
Northeastern U--safe match</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks alot guys, and yes jay1020, Polytech and NYU are merging (final vote will be made thursday) and atleast from Poly's side it looks like the board is heavily in favor for the merger. The problem with Poly is that its reputation lies heavily on Engineering and nothing for business. Also I've been finding myself much more interested in Finance/Economics than Management of Info. Systems (MIS) so I am looking for a school that may give me a better shot in a career in Finance.
Do you think me trying to apply to some of the listed schools will be stupid because of the merger? </p>
<p>CalCruzer (or anyone) my GPA in my major is a 3.91; the only grade that really hurt my GPA was Chemistry (C+) and a C++ course which I recieved a B- in. Is your major GPA a factor? or do college look solely on your cum. GPA? </p>
<p>Sorry for all the questions!</p>
<p>uh that article is from 3 years ago when Poly had a different president. This time around things seems more serious.
In any case if anyone else has any opinions on my chances or feel there is a better school for finance that I can get into PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS GUYS</p>
<p>Undergraduate Business at Cornell ?, I thought they didn't have that, only Economics...</p>
