NYC transfer dilemna

Transfer Students

<p>I would like to transfer out of the baruch honors program. While it is strong academically, it is lacking in several areas. The student body of regular baruch is annoying. There is a lack of resources, career resources, etc. I believe the honors program is probably right there with NYU in general and is the third best college/program in NYC</p>

<p>I would like a chance to transfer to either NYU stern, Columbia or Cornell AEM as my interest is business and finance. I know I will apply to NYU Stern and maybe Columbia for junior year entry. I am not sure if I should try to apply to Cornell AEM in the spring of my sophmore year. I don’t like my current situation, as I come from a poor neighborhood as a commuter because nyc is too expensive. Baruch College is seriously lacking and you just don’t feel good going there. Im not too high on going to cornell, as it is not in the city. I would rather go to NYU Stern or Columbia. </p>

<p>The main concern is getting in and paying for the college. I believe Columbia is affordable. NYU Stern is gonna be expensive, but I may pay it depending on the aid given as its for two years. Cornell is affordable but Im not sure how the dorming expense factors in. Does it make it as expensive as NYU Stern?</p>

<p>If this helps I had to pay like 21k a year for NYU when I got in.</p>

<p>You would probably get less or even more likely no aid as a transfer. I’d apply to schools that meet need if you can’t pay in full.</p>

<p>NYU Stern has a ton of prereqs they want to see you complete or in progress of completing before you transfer. Check out this post that someone wrote about NYU Stern:

<p>Try to keep your GPA up and finish the prereqs. Stern is the most competitive division of NYU to transfer into, the percentage of successful transfers is kind of low.</p>
