Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi, I am currently a Community College student in Washington St. and am looking to transfer after Summer Quarter. I am an ambitious and hard-working student who is wants to go into finance/economics (finance preferably). </p>

<p>I will have about a 3.4 GPA when I finish the Summer Quarter with my AA. I have excellent EC's being the Treasurer of our CKI club with tons of volunteer work, ect. I also plan on running for Office President and doing various other EC's by the end of Summer.</p>

<p>With that said, I really would love to move to a bigger city and branch out from my small town. I do prioritize academics, but I know that moving will help me build my network which will bring even more oppurtunities. I would love to go to a university in California, New York, ect. as it has been my goal to live in the city with a great paying career.</p>

<p>Can you give me a few great (Finance or Business Oriented) universities that I could possibly get accepted into that match my description? Is UCLA a reach for me? I will greatly appreciate the advice, thank you all for taking the time to help!</p>

<p>UCLA, Cal, and UCSD is a reach. UCI and USC is plausible. Depends on what classes you have taken really.</p>

<p>UCLA has been my dream college, but I don't think there is anything left to do to increase my chances of getting accepted. Some people have told me to acually finish my AA in California, ect. </p>

<p>My CC actually doesn't have many set business classes, but it should show I have great interest in it. Can you all give me some other college options... Thanks again.</p>

<p>nyu stern is a good choice, but im not sure how your gpa matches up there</p>

<p>i highly encourage you to check out sdsu! from what i've heard, it has a great business department. i know many people at the jc i'm attending in san diego that want to transfer there as a business major. sure, sdsu doesn't have the name recognition that a uc would offer, but if that's what you want to study, i think it's way better than a uc. uc's tend to be research oriented, for one thing.</p>

<p>Your 3.4 GPA will hinder your chances at top Cali school and NYU Stern, to name a few. Since you intend to leave your CC soon, you should add some safety/match schools like University of Washington and Washington State.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the opinions/advice! What do you think is the most pretigious Finance School I could get accepted into? How does the U of W rank in their Finance/Business program?</p>

<p>I'm not really sure about their business program in particular, but UofW is a good school and you would certainly have opportunities as a grad.</p>
