<p>Ok, here is my situation.</p>

<p>I am currently at UC Davis, but I am thinking of transferring to Stern.</p>

<p>If I were to stay at Davis, I could graduate in 3, or at most 3.5 years b/c of units I had taken during HS.</p>

<p>However, if I transfer to NYU Stern I'm pretty sure a lot of units would not transfer and I would probably have to redo some stuff over again. </p>

<p>Currently, I'm in the top 3% of my college and year, so I believe that I will be able to get a good job after graduation. However, I noticed that the median salary coming out of Stern was 52k or something, that's 12k more than the median for Davis, in the "Finance/Banking" field.</p>

<p>Do you guys think it would be worth it to transfer? Would my job opportunities be much higher after graduating from Stern?</p>

<p>Hey, I just transferred from UCI to NYU and then back <em>all within a week because of transfer of credit issues</em>. It all comes down to your own preference man. If you want to spend gobs of money to make up those extra years at Stern <em>assuming you dont have a lot of money, dont get financial aid, etc..</em> - then by all means go for it. Its an amazing school, but if you plan to go to grad school its kind of pointless to spend so much time and money on your undergrad degree when Davis is still a pretty damn good school (albeit quiet compared to NYC).</p>
