Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey guys, I'm currently a Freshman attending New York University's CAS (undecided). I'm thinking of internally transferring to Stern. However, I heard this process is almost impossible so I need to apply as a transfer to other schools too. </p>

<p>I entered college not knowing that I want to major in, but now I'm inclined toward something business. Therefore, I want to apply to schools with a good business program. My only two choices are Boston College, because it's close to home and UVA, due to it's reputable usiness school.</p>

<p>I can't stay at NYU if I don't get in Stern because my dad is not paying tuition if I stay at NYU CAS 2nd year and beyond. I know some of you will probably say that I'm silly that is the reason I want to transfer out but NYU is 50k+/ year and has one of the crappiest finaids among the national colleges. Therefore, the transfer schools I'm looking for besides NYU Stern has to be somewhat good and cheap (like UVA).</p>

<p>I know for UVA, you have to apply junior year to their business school. I'm not sure about the detail, maybe someone can fill me in? I also need to add some more schools onto my list (maybe 4-5) just to be safe. I am also looking for a school that has a city setting (unlike Cornell). I'd appreciate if you guys help me out.</p>

<p>My stats are:
First semester College: 3.75 (I got a B+ in Calc, I don't know why. I'm going to talk to the professor to check if he got my grades right when school starts)
HS GPA: 4.0/5.0 top 20%
SAT: 2270, (M800, C740, W740)
SAT II: Chinese 800, Bio 770, Math 2C 800
APs: 5's on Macro, US, Bio, Chem, Psych, Calc AB; 4's on Micro, Physics C, Enviro Sci</p>

<p>Second semester I'm taking Micro, Stats, Writing (required), and World Cultures (required)</p>

<p>So I guess my questions are:
1) What schools should I apply to other than BC/UVA and how would you rank them (reach, 50/50, safety)
2) What is the deal with FAFSA, on the BC website, it says FAFSA was due in NOV if you're applying for fall 08. I don't know if this NOV is 07 NOV or 08. Would make more sense if it's 07 since NOV08, you would start school already. I guess I missed this deadline, does anyone know what I can do about it?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot guys!</p>

<p>In my high school, you need to be in Honors Trig to be go in BC calc. And I was in accelerated trig.</p>

<p>Can anyone give me suggestions on which college I should apply to?</p>

<p>Appy to stern. I highly recommend it. In addition, there is pre-business program in CAS. Try to tell your dad about that program if you get rejected from Stern
Did you take Professor Berman for Calc? He was generous when I took him</p>

<p>BC better. UVA located in nowhere - Nothing to do. It took me 3 hours to drive back to DC.</p>
