<p>I plan on attending a not so great undergraduate school, and hope to transfer to a top 20 business school as a Junior. I was just wondering which of the top 20 schools are more open to transfer students. Thanks.</p>

<p>i find it funny that you say life is about helping people, yet you want help with business schools. When most business is the root of all evil. Lets avoid the greed that exists which has led to the financial crisis we’re currently in.</p>

<p>Ignorance of business and economics played a huge part in the financial crisis. Banks, individuals and businesses borrowed excessive amounts and bet on a continuous increase in home prices.
Reports are no one knew exactly what value these products had or were backed by. Even simple information like zip codes of the mortgage borrowers had been lost in the process of slicing, dicing and trading. And investors and credit rating agencies had little idea how fully exposed companies were because most of the securities were held off the books.</p>
<p>And to answer, the OP’s question:
State schools (UNC, UVA, UC, UCLA, Texas, UIUC, IU) esp. for in-state. Not sure if that’s true for Michigan’s Ross though.
USC
NYU</p>
<p>Anyone who claims that business is the ‘root of all evil’ and that business schools somehow purvey ‘greed’ is displaying the same kind of sheer ignorance that is responsible for the financial crisis we now find ourselves in.</p>
<p>OP: How ‘amazing’ are you planning to be before you transfer (in terms of gpa, ecs, etc.)? A school tends to be much more ‘open’ to a transfer student if they have a perfect gpa, wonderful activities, etc. :)</p>

I plan on trying to maintain an extremely high GPA, I know its easier said than done but I’ve got to have a goal. I also am going to use my work experience to my advantage, I started my own company in high school and its growing and I’m hoping that by the time I apply as a sophomore it’ll be a large company.</p>
<p>Just want to clarify…Cornell does not have an undergraduate business school. AEM, the ranked major, is in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, one of the NYS contract colleges withing the university.</p>
