<p>hey guys I want to attend a university for a year and then try to transfer to Stern at the end of first year (so i'll be applying next fall).</p>

<p>I want to ask how hard is it to transfer into Stern from another school? Is there a percentage? and class requirements?</p>

<p>i'm debating between attending Boston U or CUNY Baruch in the city for my first and/or second year before trying to transfer to NYU Stern.</p>

<p>Which one should I go to? Does it matter?</p>

<p>Let's say I choose BU (have to pay around 20k a year), and i get a 3.0</p>

<p>versus Baruch (free tuition) and i get a 3.5 GPA?</p>

<p>which one would Stern likely accept? Does the college's name really matter?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot guys .. lots of questions and sorry !</p>

<p>and what if it's 3.5 at both schools? How would that change the acceptance percentage?</p>

<p>please someone help</p>

<p>I really doubt that anyone really knows. But you can generally assume that with equal GPAs, the more competitive school will likely give you a better edge. But based on the 'wisdom' floating around these boards, it is also not clear that a 3.5 would give you a lock...</p>

<p>Your best bet might be to call admissions office and see what they can tell you and what data they can provide.</p>

<p>thanks for replying</p>

<p>i have called them but they keep giving me answers that i already know. they themselves are not so sure about transfers either... which is frustrating...</p>

<p>if anyone knows about the transfers process, please help.</p>

<p>no offense but i don't think a 3.5 at either will do unless you have some kind of talent or extracurricular stuff. i would try for like 3.8</p>

<p>if i'm at BU, i won't be able to get a good internship but at Baruch since I stay in the city, I have several internships that I can choose from ...</p>

<p>about the 3.8, i'm pretty sure I can get that at Baruch but definitely not at BU...</p>

<p>psh you can get them in Boston. it's not like no one does business in boston</p>

<p>the thing is i have connections in new york for internships because of previous jobs and at school, im part of goldman sachs internship program.</p>

<p>Listen-Goldman Sachs is Goldman Sachs. That is superb, and is worth more than BU imho. Go to Baruch save money, and apply to Stern with a 3.9. It will still be tough. This year they had 1,190 transfer apps ans 90 places.....so no matter what your chances are not very good.</p>
