<p>I am a sophomore at the University of Washington. When I applied to college I really had no idea what I wanted and essentially chose the UW by default. I was interested in engineering and business, I chose engineering. However at the end of last year I came to the conclusion that I would not be happy with that major. I worked hard, my GPA was 3.8 in a light load of engineering prerequisites. But I did drop one class (chemistry 2). </p>
<p>Over the summer I decided to major in business. I started taking business classes this quarter and I dont feel like the program here is a good fit for me. It as a very strong Greek influence and I feel out of place. Im not performing as great mainly because Im not happy with the program. I would like to transfer to a business program that is less traditional and where I can have conversation without the need to be drunk. Id like the opportunity to take some more creative classes as well, not simply the standard cut and dry business courses. </p>
<p>As far as stats received a 1360 on the SAT and a 4.0 in IB. I have overcome some significant adversity. I am white. Oh and I am in the honors program at the UW. </p>
<p>I would really appreciate any suggestions you guys might have for me on schools to apply to. This is a big decision and I hope you may be able to provide me with some insight. Thanks so much.</p>
<p>One route would be a selective small liberal arts school or mid-size uni in a major business center. Take an econ major or psych major or a double of those two, plus internships. </p>
<p>I don't follow the transfer stats at these schools, but options would include Occidental, Claremont McKenna, University of Denver, Macalester, Washington University, University of Chicago (though might be tough to graduate in a total of four years here) and Haverford, among others.</p>
<p>pcgk23, Schools are probably going to use your college record more heavily than SAT scores. Also, some schools are nearly impossible to transfer into (eg, MIT), others are easier to transfer into than to be admitted as a FR.</p>
<p>Here are some lists of highly regarded undergraduate business schools.</p>
<p>You exude top liberal arts school. I went to Dartmouth, studied history and film, and less than two years later after working for a top consulting firm I got into a top MBA. It sounds like you should go to a top school, like Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, or Penn, and major in econ or a liberal arts degree and then get a business job. You get to study intellectual fun stuff and get a good job, its a win win.</p>
