<p>Hey CC. So basically, I finished my freshmen year at the Pennsylvania State University Smeal College of Business and I am planning on attending the school for my sophomore year as well. I applied as a transfer student this year to BU and Northeastern and was accepted with generous scholarships; however, I have been told that Penn State has the same, if not better, prestige than those 2 schools which is why I decided to stay. Thus, I am planning on transferring to even better schools after my sophomore year. The schools that I intend to apply to next year are: UC Berkeley, USC, Georgetown, NYU Stern, UMichigan Ross, and BC Carroll.

<p>My transfer essays should be a bit above average, I assume.</p>
<p>I believe junior year transfer don't need SAT scores so I probably won't put that in my application.
So, do you guys think I have a chance at any of those schools I mentioned?</p>
<p>Can anyone chance me?</p>
<p>weird, I only know one Korean from Saint Michaels who went to Penn state 2 years ago. Since you said you just finished freshman year, you wouldn’t be A.T</p>
<p>Throw out Berkeley. Haas has only accepted one OSS applicant in a few years.</p>
<p>Is Berkeley that hard…? How about the other schools I’ve mentioned at least?</p>
<p>Get one more semester of straight As (and midterm report), and you have a decent shot at all of them. Stern will be hard, but doable.</p>
<p>Make sure to write convincing essays.</p>
<p>Oh man… another semester with all As is going to be tough. Does my internship at BCS International help a lot?</p>
<p>can anyone please chance me? I’m very desperate…</p>
<p>UC Berkeley - Highly doubt it, if its for Haas that is, You need atleast calc 2 with 3.8 and above maybe a little less to be considered a competitive applicant.</p>
<p>USC - Good chance that is if you get all A’s or above your cumulative gpa for the next semester or year w/e (upward trend is important) ALSO do all the GE’s they have on the site it helps ALOT.</p>
<p>Georgetown - I have no clue</p>
<p>NYU Stern - Good chance same thing as USC</p>
<p>UMichigan Ross - no clue</p>
<p>BC - If its for CSOM don’t get your hopes up but doesn’t hurt trying, their external transfer rate is RIDICULOUSLY LOW … I applied with a 4.0 and I’m PRETTY sure I’ll be receiving a rejection email tomorrow afternoon or today afternoon being its 1:44 here -_-"</p>
<p>Gluck!</p>
<p>Ross, judging from some other cc threads, has a higher business school rep than NYU, so you should consider your chances a bit lower too.</p>
<p>I am highly considering Georgetown, Berkeley, USC, and Stern. Does anyone know if I have a chance for Georgetown??</p>
<p>I’d say go ahead and apply to georgetown. I know two people from my CC that got accepted with 3.6-3.7 range gpa’s. I don’t know what all other criteria is looked at, but at least you’re in the grade range.</p>
<p>Okay, I am definitely applying to georgetown. How about USC, Berkeley, and Stern? Does anyone have any idea?</p>
<p>Bro … if you don’t apply you’ll never know … just don’t half @ss the applications like I did. Like I said Berkely Haas … really unlikely sorry just a fact … plus your oss student … Marshall and Stern you have a good chance if you pull through with all A’s from now on. Did you think about UT Austin Mcombs ? BTW boston college CSOM would be hard as or if not harder to get into than Haas.</p>
<p>The two schools that I’m mainly focusing/applying to would be UC Berkeley and UNC-Chapel Hill. Apparently, private school transfer rates are ridiculous since they have a smaller size of students… whereas, public schools accept more students due to the size of their campus, classes, etc. Would I have a chance at berkeley or chapel hill? I really hope to get in. Also, is staying at penn state smeal a good choice as well?</p>
