<p>Hey guys, which schools among the USNEWS TOP 10 colleges have the highest transfer rates? I know penn has pretty decent rates (ive heard wharton is like 1% tho). Im hoping to do either economics or business.</p>
<p>Generally, do MBAs prefer low GPAs from top 10 colleges or higher GPAs from top 25 colleges (Im a freshman in USC right now)?</p>
<p>Also, when would be the best time to apply for transfer, and what kind of GPA should I be aiming for at USC (Im doing a dual degree in engineering (comsci) and business)? Will internships from top firms help my app a lot?</p>
<p>Should I even try to transfer at all???
Thanks</p>
<p>honestly, i think USC has a great business program and if you like it there, i would stay. obviously if you’re trying to transfer because you don’t like it at USC, that’s another story, but if you do like it i would stay. it would be better to get a higher gpa at USC than a lower gpa at a top 10 school. USC is a fabulous school anyway, so it won’t be looked down upon in any way when you’re applying for jobs.</p>
<p>Thanks for the response man, I’d like to hear other opinons too</p>
<p>The question is how are you going to convey your need to transfer? Think about that before you think about the numbers game. I don’t think your answer in your post would be the best essay topic.</p>
<p>^lol what exactly do you mean</p>
<p>^ Im sure your uncles words are a tad hyperbolized but still… HOLY ****, I didn’t think GPA >'d undergrad prestige this much lol.</p>
<p>But is this unique only to the school your uncle works in?</p>
<p>My plan is to apply to Harvard Business School’s 2+2 program during junior year. If I fail I’ll apply to MBA regularly but consider only like the top 5 MBAs, if I fail again I’ll just keep applying lolz</p>
<p>any more opinions?</p>
<p>You can stay at state university and get gpa that you hope is higher than gpa you could have gotten at more prestigious school.</p>
<p>Or you can transfer into more prestigious school, and get equally good or even better gpa there.</p>
<p>^Harvard 2+2 generally doesn’t accept business majors.</p>
<p>^ they do now, read it in the FAQ</p>
<p>Thank you for the correction. Directly from Harvard’s website; “When the 2+2 Program was originally created it primarily targeted students who are not already on a business track (i.e. students studying the liberal arts, sciences, engineering, etc.). However, we are now encouraging students from all undergraduate majors to apply (that includes those with concentrations and experiences in business-related fields).”</p>
<p>lol i guess that makes it more competitive</p>
