<p>Hi! I am currently a freshmen in USC, and thinking about transfering to Econ major in Cornell, Dartmouth or UPenn......the problem is, I haven't taken Macroeconomics yet, and I was planning on doing that during the summer because the professor totally sucks! However, I just realized that cornell might not allow transfering unless i have completed all the required class......so......is there still hope for me to transfer without having taken Macro in Freshmen? also, is it impossible to get into this major after freshmen year?? </p>

<p>Just to add my stats, I am a current USC freshmen in Marshall school of business......my stats isn't that good, I have good extracurricular stuff, and my 1st semester is 4.0 gpa, but my SAT is 2150.....do u guys think there is hope for transfering?? (even though it's less than a month left)</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your help guys!!!</p>

<p>take it over the summer and make a notation that you plan on doing so when applying as a transfer student. this could help.</p>

<p>Since you're only a freshman, transferring won't be difficult as far as required courses go. Th econ major is in Arts & Sciences and Cornell students don't "officially" declare a major in A&S until the end of their sophomore year. You're already in a great program - congratulations on that achievement!</p>

<p>Yea you wouldn't have a problem transferring...the 4.0 gpa is the best thing going for you, that's really great; keep that up this semester, write good essays and you have a good chance!</p>

<p>just wondering....where would a Cornell Econ major get me? does Cornell send a lot of grads to IB jobs on Wall Street?</p>

<p>any major can get you anything that you want. major in what you LIKE</p>

<p>Cornell econ has a good Wall Street rep. Johnson school is no slouch, either. There are a lot of Cornell alum in NY and DC, so it's a good school for opening east coast doors. </p>

<p>Whether any school can get anyone anywhere, I don't know.</p>

<p>I agree....no matter how bright people are, they must have opportunities in order to spark!</p>

<p>true, but you could be a philosophy major or an history major and work on wall street....the former chairwoman of jp morgan was a comp. lit major. it honestly doesn't matter that's what no one gets. do what you love, people will find you interesting and then you can get a good job or w/e. if you love economics, do it. if you love french literature, major in that and write an amazing thesis that you can talk about in interviews because cough they will be interested in it too.</p>

<p>spiralstar... WHAT? Al-Sabea's 203/205 classes do NOT "suck", haha!</p>

<p>Good luck with your transfer, though. But remember, regardless, USC is still a great school.</p>

<p>there's like 20,000+ people just like you. That's the problem. They litter all the best east coast college as well as all the colleges from which people attempt to transfer from.</p>

<p>sincerely good luck getting whatever you want though.</p>

<p>P.S. I think you may have misinterpreted applejack's last comment. :)</p>
