IT'S FINAL...what do you think?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Ok so here's my list; I've met with my very successful marketing professor, who was the vice president of proctor and gamble in her early 20's, in order to get my list set up. What do you think?? What are my chances?? Any others I should consider??</p>

<p>White male from upstate NY community college, transferring into business program for accounting or finance-- GPA 3.6, SAT 1120 old--- looking for a big city college with alot of recruitment.</p>

<p>SAFETIES:
Univ. at Buffalo
Binghamton University</p>

<p>MATCHES:
Syracuse
UCLA
USC
Purdue
Univ. of Miami</p>

<p>REACHES:
NYU
Cornell
UNC-Chapel Hill
UPenn</p>

<p>UCLA is a super reach for an out of stater with your gpa.</p>

3

<p>I don't think NYU, Cornell and UPenn are reaches for you. You may want to consider CUNY-Baruch College as well.</p>

4

<p>sorry but i dont think you have a shot at your reaches- you'll be competing with people who have much better scores, etc, and you're applying to some of the top schools in the country.</p>

5

<p>yeah UCLA would be a big reach for you as an instate student--out of state, I'd say practically zero chance...</p>

6

<p>I suggest that you drop UCLA and all but one of your reaches unless you enjoy writing transfer essays and paying tons of money. Pick the reach you are most interested in and go for it, but you will not have a great chance. Bottom line, narrow it down a bit.</p>

7

<p>cornell/upenn are super duper reaches.</p>

8

<p>UCLA has neither Finance or accounting</p>

9

<p>just like clig said: ucla is more of a reach with such an mediocre gpa in addition to being outa state.</p>

10

<p>I don't think 3.6 is mediocore. I think it's very good. But if u're relatively speaking to Econ majors at ucla. I guess i'll agree w/ u. The out of state hurts as well, quite a bit.</p>

<p>UCLA tradionally gives priority to CCC students... The demand for Econ major is pretty high. HAHA i also took some econ classes.</p>

<p>good luck anyways.</p>

11

<p>1 word:
PWN!!!</p>

12

<p>I almost never discourage a student from applying to a dream school, but unless there are amazing pluses in your application that you haven't mentioned here, Wharton is not going to happen. I agree that you should revise the list downward, adding some more realistic matches instead of this many reaches that are likely to be out of reach.</p>

13

<p>USC is also a reach. You can get into the school, but getting into the business school is a whole different story. Most get in with a 3.8gpa</p>

14

<p>Wharton is crazy hard. I'm not sure about the others. UPenn in general is really hard.</p>
