<p>I am a transfer student who wanna apply up to 7 or 8 colleges. I am currently at U of M and wanna transfer to some colleges with strong finance major and what's more important, offer financial aid. my list now is: Wharton Business School, Amherst, Stanford (which is practically impossible based on transfer rate), Columbia, Chicago, Swarthmore, MIT, Northwestern, Dartmouth. and i have to cut one or two schools out of the list? since michigan offers excellent undergrad business education so i only top school which seems arrogant. so which school in your opinion should be cut off the list? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>In terms of sheer numbers of transfer students ACCEPTED (enrolled is lower) at the institutions you listed, the best bets are:</p>
<h1>of Transfer Accepts , Transfer Accept Rate , College</h1>
<p>367 , 17% , U Penn
253 , 22% , Northwestern
105 , 6% , Columbia
88 , 13% , U Chicago
38 , 7% , Dartmouth
28 , 17% , Swarthmore
25 , 2% , Stanford
23 , 6% , Amherst
16 , 6% , MIT</p>
<p>I don’t know how many of these do a separate transfer admissions process into their business programs. </p>
<p>I think any of these schools can get you into the interview room and then it’s much, much more about you than the school. So, find the one that you think fits you best, including your current school.</p>
<p>wow. this stats are so helpful! thanks a lot. i have no idea why stanford is soooo hard.</p>
<p>OP, assuming that U of M you mentioned is U of Maryland, don’t forget to look into Ross, Stern and Cornell.</p>
<p>Is money no object? Or do you need F/A? IF you need F/A, do you know what your family’s EFC is?</p>
<p>Note, however, the Penn rates are MUCH lower at Wharton than at the other schools within the U. You would have to be the second coming to transfer into Wharton–most transfers there are Penn internal.</p>
<p>wharton admits probably around 20 external transfer every year with admit rate about 6-7%</p>
<p>ill need at least 35,000 dollars financial aid.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>So, your list contains schools that will cost about $50k+ per year. You say you’ll need at least $35k in aid. Therefore, I’m guessing that your parents have agreed to pay about $15k per year. Are you certain that their EFC is not higher than $15k? If so, that will negatively affect the F/A that you’ll be given.</p>
<p>Since you don’t want that $35k per year to be in loans, you need to apply to schools that will meet 100% of demonstrated need without loans.</p>
<p>to mom2collegekids<br>
yeah, thats the major problem i have. my parents earn about 30,000 dollars a year so i actually cannot afford more. and i am an international student, which makes asking for financial aid almost equals death sentence.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>If your parents are only earning $30k (is that total), then you’ll need a lot more than $35k in F/A. Your list contains schools that will cost about $50k+ per year. Do you realize that???</p>
<p>How are you paying for college now?</p>
<p>Have you visited the thread that lists which give aid to Internationals?</p>
<p>to mom2collegekids
my parents have some saving and stocks. so thats primarily how they pay for my tuition right now. and the living expenses in my country are not that high actually. so they agree to pay about 15,000 a year.</p>
<p>Ahh…</p>
<p>The problem is that many schools require the families of internationals to provide documentation that they will provide for all of your expenses in order to get your visa and to get accepted.</p>
<p>Therefore, you need to limit your apps to schools that will give aid to Int’ls (beware…some aid to Int’ls is student loans and some don’t meet 100% of need.)</p>
<p>Here’s a post from Emeraldkity…</p>
<p>Schools with Financial Aid for International Undergraduate Students
Some US schools are more likely than others to offer financial aid for international undergraduate students. The lists below indicate which schools offer aid (including grants, loans, and jobs) to the largest numbers of international students. The lists are based on a list originally compiled by Douglas C. Thompson.</p>
<p>To be included in the following lists, the schools must have an average award that is greater than 1/5 of the cost of attendance. The financial aid may include grants, loans, and jobs, and often includes both merit and need-based awards. Within each group, schools are listed in alphabetical order.</p>
<p>(Remember that a much greater number of schools provide financial aid for international graduate students in the form of teaching and research assistantships. For information about financial aid for graduate study in the US, you should contact the schools that interest you even if they aren’t included in the lists below.)</p>
<p>It a school is not listed here, it probably does not have much financial aid for international students. However, it is worth noting that some schools may have athletic scholarships that are open to both international students and US students. The lists below do not count the number of athletic scholarships awarded to international students.</p>
<p>Again…please note that MOST of these schools do NOT meet 100% of need. Most just give a small award. </p>

<p>But as you can see it is quite competitve-I don’t think schools are need blind or generally offer 100% either to internationals.
In our area international students generally attend community colleges to save money.</p>
