<p>I am a student at a lower tier state school (biggest school in it's state, but very little national recognition), and I want to transfer after this year. I am looking for guidance on where I will have a decent shot at transferring to. </p>
<p>I want to go to a school that has a strong finance or economics program and places well at banks. </p>
<p>I've already been accepted to SMU, but I want to apply to more places, preferably some that I have a very strong chance of acceptance, and some that are long shots. </p>
<p>I would prefer schools in an urban setting, and where the students have a strong academic focus. Will anyone recommend me schools based on my stats, where I would have a strong chance of transferring, and some where it would be a long shot but still a possibility?</p>
<p>My stats:</p>
<p>HS GPA: 3.55
College GPA: 3.47 (3.8, 2.65, and 4.0, strong explanation for the 2.65)
College hours after this spring: 62
Anticipated GPA after spring: 3.55
SAT: 1280/1850, taken in 2010
Essays: Strong
EC's: Pretty strong (multiple quality internships, articles selected for publication on website, other)
Recommendations: from professors and boss</p>
<p>Schools that I'm definitely applying to:</p>
<p>SMU (accepted)
UT (in state)
CUNY Baruch</p>
<p>Schools in considering:</p>
<p>Fordham (finance)
Purdue (finance)
UIUC (finance)
UI (Econ)
Gtech (finance)
UNC (Econ)
UVA (Econ)
UMich (Econ)
Lehigh (Econ)
Vandy (Econ)
BC (Econ)
Northeastern (Finance)</p>
<p>Please let me know my chances at these schools, as well as any other ones that may be fitting that come to mind. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
