Need helps about choosing school

<p>Hello there,
Now the application season was end, I have received three offers. They are from Binghamton University, Stony Brook University and University of Mass-Amherst. In the future, I want to transfer, for example, to Boston University. So, I want to know which school can get a high GPA most easily. I may major biology but I am not sure about that yet, need to discuss it with parents. Feel free to say anything. Thank you.</p>

<p>I don’t think the standard will vary dramatically between these three. Go to the school that you like the most/makes most financial sense.</p>

<p>I agree with katliamon. Accept admission to one of your choices that you would feel comfortable attending for 4 years. It is difficult to transfer some credits and you will not likely receive merit aid as a transfer.</p>

<p>Thank you. Have you been to any of these schools? Which campus has great environment?</p>

<p>Thank you Ecmotherx2, but I dont know which school will make me feel comfortable. The informations from usnews are not enough for me to choose school.</p>

<p>I have only been to UMass/Amherst, and they seemed to have very happy students. The campus, although large, was compact. My daughter stayed overnight, and she really enjoyed the ice hockey game, which is their big sport. She had never seen an ice hockey game before, so we were somewhat surprised that she enjoyed it so much.</p>

<p>The town of Amherst is small, but friendly.</p>

<p>I’m not familiar with the other two.</p>

<p>Ok, seems a friendly school, thank you FlyMe.</p>

<p>I visited UMASS Amherst this past summer. They have great food (award winning dining halls) and are in a really fun (if small) college town. The campus is pretty large but also (imo) picturesque.</p>

<p>What are your parents saying? Will they pay for an OOS school? </p>

<p>Re: transferring. If your parents are fine with paying for BU, then fine. but if they’re expecting you to get aid, then you can’t expect a great package as a BU transfer.</p>

<p>mom2, is OOS school means a school with expensive tuition? Emm… I think I dont need to worry about the tuition, its fine to my parents.</p>

<p>Thank you for your message, SROSSE.</p>

<p>OOS = out of state</p>

<p>Usually, this means that costs are higher than for in state public schools, although some (e.g. South Dakota State) have relatively low prices even for OOS students.</p>
