<p>I'm seriously considering transferring to UT BHP from NYU Stern after changes in interest and financial difficulties as well as challenges in repaying the debt if I were to continue my studies here.
I'm originally from Austin, and this past Spring I was accepted to NYU Stern and UT BHP but subsequently accepted NYU Stern's offer due to name recognition and opportunities in the financial sector. I am seriously regretting my decision...</p>
<p>I'm currently in my first semester as a freshman in the Stern school. Although I don't have a GPA yet, I have no doubt that I will earn A+'s in Calculus and Statistics and A's, if not A+'s, in my Microecon and philosophy classes.
I'm in the Accounting Society and in the Korean Student Association.
I do not, however, hold any leadership positions since it's harder to find opportunities here, to be honest.</p>
<p>According to the UT advisor, the adcoms do not consider anything prior to college, and do not consider my previous admission to the BHP program.</p>
<p>I don't know if they consider SAT and AP scores, but here goes:
SAT: 2240 (700 R, 740 M, 800 W w/ 12 E)
AP: Calc BC 4, Calc AB 4, Stat 4, Bio 4, Eng Lit 4, Eng Lang 4, USH 3, Chem 3, Macroecon 3</p>
<p>Well, I don't really think anyone giving you a percentage answer on the chances is going to help you. I think you are best off evaluating why it is exactly that you want to transfer into BHP and being able to articulate that clearly.</p>
<p>You are right, they won't consider anything you did in HS, just college. So, do something in college. You don't have to be an officer in an organization in order to show leadership. I'm not sure how it is at Stern, but there are tons of opportunities here at UT for people to get involved in the student life and show leadership that way. Most people who apply don't have a formal leadership position by the end of their freshman year. They have, however, been active in the school and the community and exhibited characteristics of a good leader in whatever it is they do.</p>
<p>BHP isn't just looking for someone with great test scores that is interested in business. Honestly, the reasons that you give for going to Stern and now wanting to transfer into BHP are probably not going to be looked on highly if that is what you put in your application. </p>
<p>The BHP sophomore admissions process is very competitive due to the number of McCombs students with 3.9+ GPA's that have been active around the campus that are applying. It's going to take an extremely compelling essay combined with a phenomenal academic record to get back into BHP after you already turned them down once.</p>
<p>Sorry if this isn't the reply that you wanted, but I hope it helps.</p>
<p>This is so interesting. I'm actually considering the exact opposite: transferring out of McCombs to Stern. If only we could trade spots... haha...</p>
