<p>I know my stats are never going to get me into my selected schools with the current stats I have and I plan to go somewhere else in hopes of a transfer(All my life it been a turmoil of poverty,hardships and toxic parents ; I need somewhere to build my resume in peace away from the toxicity from home.... I just need to go to college and build who I am alone ) Look I want to ask, what happens if you transfer from a 4 year public institution to a private 4 year? Would it be harder as opposed to going to a community college then transferring to my target schools? Include the fact in these transfer, that I may want to transfer out of state.( All I just want to work on wall street and hopefully work at the sales& trade at a bulge bracket. It all I ever wanted to do in life)</p>
<p>It’s not necessarily harder if you can afford it (that is the big question). Many private colleges have good student support to help with studying. The main question, though, is what can your family afford?</p>
<p>If you want to transfer out of state to another state university, you still face the problem of out of state tuition and limited need-based aid for OOS students. Private schools are better, but transfers still don’t always get the best aid. Focus in on doing really well at your state public – and know that there are many, many, many jobs in business where you can be very successful besides Wall Street. You could go for an MBA later if you still feel a jones for Wall Street after completing your UG degree and working for a couple of years.</p>
<p>Also, transfer acceptance rates are typically even lower than freshman acceptance rates at top schools. It is very difficult to just “transform” into a student who would successfully transfer in a year or two.</p>
<p>^that a challenge I have to take. No matter the cost…My parents have no money saved up in their 401k or pension funds.My dad plans to retire when I finish college. I am worried with my sister career paths and I fear that they wont be able to sustain them(I dont think my oldest sister can sustain her house with her boyfriend on top of providing for my parents with a substitute teacher salary)… I dont want them to live in the projects or live in a rent control home. I want them to live with a nice clean environment for once…My parents have less than 2k in their bank account) and my sister is already in 30k in debt(My sister cant help until 6 years time even with a salary of 60k)…That why I feel the need to get into a top school,the need to sustain them and fear of concurrent failure in my life. My sister sacrificed their child hood to raise me properly and guide me through life… I on other hand did not and I was still fail to fall down the path that they wanted me to…And more importantly to see my mom smile and never have to be depressed again…I want my mom to be able to afford health insurance that get accepted by real professional psychiatrist( my mom has never received the health support she needed nor actually have adequate care) In turn I hope that in turn that my mom schizophrenia will stop being such a problem in my life…I wont fail my dreams and I wont fail them</p>
<p>Those are all reasons why you should stay in-state.</p>
<p>^if I was ever going out of state it would have to be a school with good financial aid package…And the prestige would have to be high like upenn,berkley,northwestern, and emory… The problem is to achieve what I want to do in life is shoot practically for the stars(firms dont hire from low teir rank schools and network alone would not get me into morgan stanley)…But if I had a choice between upenn and columbia… I would choose columbia everytime…</p>
<p>Just go to the best school you can get into now, if you can get into a 4 year that you can afford, then do it. As you see from your sister, it hampers you to have too much debt, not helps you. HS students seem to be obvilous to the many opportunities in the world. Your first step is to get into any college and start doing as well as you can. Then you can plan the next step. You simply cannot solve all the problems of your family at this time, just take it one step at a time to be realistic and do the best that you can and you will be successful. If you have not positioned yourself for the colleges you speak of then you are just talking loser talk. Get real and realize success if what you do with what you have now.</p>
