<p>Hi, I would like to transfer to a better business program next fall (Junior Transfer). I'm currently attending a decent NY state school (SUNY) and have a 3.6 GPA. I did poorly my first semester due to family issues (separation of parents), but received a 3.8 and 4.0 in the proceeding semesters. I also received direct admission into my current university's b-school, so many of my courses match up with school's prerequisites/recommended courses. I have had multiple internships. My most recent was with a small firm in Manhattan, we set up conferences for individuals interested in the high frequency trading industry. I am a member of a business club and the club lacrosse team. I attend a couple community service/fund raising events each year (Not that much).</p>
<p>I will be submitting 3 letters of recommendation
-Accounting professor (105 average in class, top 1%)
-Sociology professor (will speak about my writing ability/no full year english offered at my university so he will give them some insight)
-Employer (my influence and performance at his company/how I mentored new interns). </p>
<p>I am applying to:
USC (*Legacy at USC's Marshall School of Business, not a huge donor)
UNC Chapel hill
NYU CAS (I don't think I have a chance at Stern)
Cornell ILR
Tufts
Lehigh
Tulane
University of Washington</p>
<p>Does legacy have any pull for transfers?
Will my first semester grades hurt my chances?</p>
<p>Please let me know what you guys think</p>
