<p>i applied to binghamton undecided, so now im going to be in the harpur school of arts and science. how hard is it to transfer into the school of management after a year?</p>
<p>its not really all that hard. basically go to brian perry in som academic advising (within the academic A building). He will tell you certain courses to take such as macro and micro. then you need above a 3.5 (probably closer to a 3.7 to be safe) and you should get in</p>
<p>Is binghamtons management departmant really top notch when it comes to undergraduate business schools? How hard would it be to tranfer in there coming from a cuny school?</p>
<p>it is not 'top notch' by any means but it is a fairly good program</p>
<p>it would not be that hard to transfer as long as you have a solid gpa at least 3.5 or above but preferably 3.7</p>
<p>the work load is not too bad either</p>
<p>email brian perry (<a href="mailto:bperry@binghamton.edu">bperry@binghamton.edu</a>) with any more questions</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>If its not top notch would you consider it better than maryland or baruch? what type of grades would you need as a transfer to get into harpur school of arts and sciences. What type of grades would you then need for a school like nyu stern? </p>
<pre><code> Thank you

<p>NYU stern is very tough as a transfer. YOu need at least a 3.8 to stand any chance.</p>
<p>Binghamton SOM is better then maryland due to the connections in NYC. i really do not know much about baruch.</p>
<p>You shouldn't have a problem getting into Harpur with a 3.4 or above</p>
<p>Binghamton SOM doesn't even make the Top 50 business schools/programs in the US. Like the university itself, it's about 75th. It is vastly overrated and it really doesn't help you that much in NYC. If you can transfer to another business program and can afford it, do so by all means.</p>
<p>Well what are other top 50 undergraduate schools for business then. thank you</p>
<p>Business Week's annual list will be announced next week on 10/13. You might pick up that issue.</p>

<p>BTW, the business program at SUNY Buffalo is considered better than Binghamton SOM -- and in the last Business Week ranking, SUNY Buffalo was considered in the third tier (among the 60-80 category). Of the top 80 programs considered by Business Week, Binghamton SOM wasn't even in the running!</p>
<p>What about baruch</p>
<p>What about Baruch? If you want to stay in the City, then okay. If not, then not okay. It has few legs off of the island of Manhattan, BTW.</p>
<p>You have to remember in all of this, especially the Binghamton SOM grads who say that they'll get good jobs in NYC because of it. Maybe. However, they'll be up against grads from all of these far superior business programs and it'll be these grads -- and not the Binghamton SOM grads -- will be getting the jobs in NYC. Afterall, New York is one of the snobbiest areas in the world where everyone wears a label on their clothing, so they'll want someone working for them who also carries a quality "brand name" with them. And Binghamton SOM is no quality brand name where compared with other business programs. Ditto Baruch.</p>
<p>collegeparent you didnt mention any state or city schools in new york. Is it worth spending all that money for an undergraduate school especially if the really top notch schools are close to impossible to transfer into? Which of the top schools are easiest to transfer into?</p>
<pre><code> thank you

<p>jjammer, the following is from another thread on this forum (Will Binghamton crack the top 70) which may answer your question:</p>
<p>"One thing to note about Binghamton is that its brighter and more astute students are pretty self-aware of their school, their fellow students and their surrounding area. The one term they use constantly is describe all of them is: ugly. The sharper and more ambitious students know that a year or two in this hell-hole will parlay itself into a respectable transcript when they decide to transfer out, actually up, to a better school. For some unexplained reason, these better schools (such as Cornell, Rochester, BC, Michigan, Penn State, Colgate, Villanova, Emory, Tufts, Georgetown, NYU, GW and Lafayette, for example,) welcome the Bing transfers. Maybe it's because these schools take pity on Bing students and accept them in order to put them out of their misery of having been associated with anything Binghamton, be it the school or the city."</p>
<p>Anyway, jjammer, is it worth paying that kind of money? Absolutely. The alumni connections alone are worth every nickel. As for which of the above list of undergraduate business programs is easiest to transfer into, the large state universities in general are (possible exceptions for out-of-staters: Michigan, Cal, UCLA, UNC and UVa).</p>
