<p>HS:
3.8GPA
1300 SAT 680math 620verbal</p>

<p>college:
3.7GPA at Rochester Institute of Technology - Majoring in Finance - Thinking about switching to MIS</p>

<p>I have about 64 credits at RIT, but we are on the trimester system. That averages out to about 40 at a normal school. I have decided to not go back to RIT due to personal reasons, so I am actively seeking a transfer.</p>

<p>I applied to NYU for the fall but I didn't get in :( . </p>

<p>I already got accepted to the University of Pittsburgh (about 20 min away from me) as a safety school, but I really would like to go somewhere else to spend my college years.</p>

<p>What are some good business schools that I should look into transfering to? Location isn't a big factor, but the west coast is too far away for me.</p>

<p>If I were you I'd look at schools like IU-Kelley, Notre Dame, Emory, UMich-Ross, etc.</p>

<p>somewhere like BU might be a good choice.... you seem to be a good fit</p>

<p>KG974 (since you appear to be knowledgable about BU), what would my best bet be for transfering into BU in January?</p>

<p>Should I take off a semester, go to Pitt for only 1 semester, or go back to RIT for 1 trimester?</p>

5

<p>go back to rit for 1 trimester.</p>

<p>and i'm surprised you didn't get into nyu with a 3.7.</p>

6

<p>Me too...after seeing the NYU Stern decisions thread...it seemed like a ton of people got in, but I guess there were actually a/b 30% that didn't get accepted from CC.</p>

<p>What is RIT comparable to schoolwise...or how is it ranked? How do you think schools like NYU view a 3.7 from RIT?</p>

7

<p>Would I have better chances applying to BU as an MIS major or a finance major?</p>

8

<p>any help is appreciated guys ;)</p>

9

<p>i don't think it matters.</p>

10

<p>yeah for BU... i dont believe it matters... also im not too knowledgable about our system here... but they make it quite clear that they want a foundation in business for everyone... soo the specific concentrtation you go into doesnt matter..... everyone gets a Business Administration degree.. and then concentrate in one or multiple areas</p>

11

<p>I would try to get into UNC-CH, UVA, or Michigan. Get into the regular program and transfer into the b-school. Truthfully you're alot better off even with an econ degree from these schools than a business degree from BU.</p>

12

<p>I second that...BU is way overpriced, not as well ranked, and has grade deflation. Go to Michigan and transfer into Ross!</p>

13

<p>Do you think I would have any problem transfering to Michigan? I've heard its pretty hard to transfer into</p>

14

<p>actually yes it is hard...I was talking more like go to Michigan and then transfer internally into Ross. External transfer into Ross is probably very hard.</p>

15

<p>Ross only has 3 year program, so I thats out of the picture for you, unless you take a whole year offf since they only admit for fall.</p>
