Creating this thread to realistically set my expectations on colleges to transfer to. I am going into my sophomore year at the University of North Florida and am currently majoring in Finance. The schools I am looking at are Columbia, University of Texas Austin, NYU Stern or CAS, UNC, Villanova, UCLA, USC, UVA and Baruch. I know some of these schools do not have Finance so Business Economics would suffice.
Here are my stats:
Highschool GPA: 3.6 weighted
ACT: 25
SAT: equally as low as ACT.
College GPA: ending freshman year with 3.9
Clubs: Treasurer of Finance and Investment society, Financial Planning Association.
Currently not in a Fraternity, have no desire to but if it would help my transfer status I would be willing to join. Also, I am doing a study abroad in London spring semester (might help application).
I am going to be applying for Fall 2018.
What are my chances? If I have my expectations set too high what are some other top undergraduate business schools to look into?
Those who are in the same boat as me I wish you luck,
Thank you!
