<p>Hey everyone on CC. I was accepted EA to the College of A & S and was wondering if I would be at a huge disadvantage in the Business school if I were to transfer there after freshman year. Do people at all the schools generally take the same classes freshman year? Will I be unable to graduate in 4 years if i were to transfer into the business school after freshman year? Can somebody please help me? Thanks</p>
<p>You can transfer now, before getting there... call the admissions office and tell them you changed your mind. You're going to need to write a letter explaining and the business school essay. If you wait till you get here, you wont be able to transfer until after a whole year.</p>
<p>By when should you try and transfer...if you plan do so? SHould it be before the rd decisions come out?</p>
<p>I'd do it as soon as you can (as long as its done well), the more likely they will approve of the transfer request.</p>
<p>It wouldn't put you at a disadvantage to transfer after freshman year. The two schools have a lot of overlapping requirements. Almost anything you take for the college will also fulfill a degree requirement for the MSB, except language courses. You just can't get started on the Business Core. That consists of 13 courses and can definitely be fit into the 3 remaining years.</p>
<p>I would recommend waiting until you get to Georgetown to make the decision to transfer. Reason being that I found myself in exactly your position a year ago. I got into the college, but between the time I sent in the application and got a decision back, I had changed my mind. So I talked to some people at the school and found out that transferring after freshman year was relatively easy, just keep your grades up. </p>
<p>I'm glad I decided to wait because I ended up changing my mind again. I'm majoring in Econ in the college now.</p>
<p>why did you choose econ instead?</p>
<p>I found it more interesting than Finance, which was what I was thinking about doing in the MSB. I took a basic finance course open to non-business school students to get a feel for it.</p>
<p>Anything I would do with a finance degree, I could probably do with an econ degree anyway. I suspect econ is also a more versatile degree, although from everything I've been told by people out there in the real world, what you major in usually ends up being unimportant. Or at least less important than we believe it is.</p>
<p>By staying in the college, I get to take a wider variety of classes because I don't have that Business Core taking up chunks of my schedule every semester.</p>
<p>The OP of this thread was not actually the real AJ1018...it was my friend, also accepted to the college...I'm sure no one cares but I (AJ1018) still intend on staying in the college for 4 years...thanks for the replies though.</p>
<p>In regards for transferring, would late March/early April be okay to let them know. Reason being, I want to visit the school and talk to some people first.</p>
<p>bump...I'd really like to know when I should try to transfer, if I decide to at all. I'd like to think more about it and visit, but I don't want to wait too late. So again, would late March/early April be okay?</p>
