1

<p>Hey, I am currently an entering sophomore at Arizona State, and I am looking to transfer to a more prestigious school to do Finance. Can anyone tell me, with my stats, what are some schools that I should look to transfer to? Thanks. Also, I am thinking of doing I-banking, so schools that I-banks recruit at would be very helpful. And maybe you could break these schools up into categories of reach, match, and safety. Thanks again. My stats:</p>

<p>3.9 cumulative GPA
1460 SAT (730/730)
National Merit Scholar
AP Scholar w/ Distinction
National Latin Exam 3 time gold medalist
2 sport varsity captain (2 years both sport)
Co-Founder and charter member of School of Global Studies club at ASU.
Founder and Editor of high school newspaper
Mock Trial
Tour Guide
AYSO Volunteer Soccer Referee (over 200 hours community service)
President of Latin Club in high school</p>

<p>Apply early to NYU</p>

3

<p>NYU, Wharton, MIT, Georgetown to name a few</p>

4

<p>Washington University - 20% go into investment banking, 20% go into consulting, I don't think too many undergraduate business schools can beat that.</p>

<p>UT-Mccombs, UM-Ann Arbor, NYU, UC-Berkeley,Wharton.. if you pull a 3.7+ you'll get in most places. you'll need a 3.8+ for OOS publics-Haas, McCombs, Ross</p>

<p>If you apply to UT-McCombs, definitely try to get into the business honors program. It has a great track record of placing students in fortune 500 companies and top ibanking/consulting firms.</p>

<p>UVa-McIntire School of Commerce seems to be severely underrated here.</p>

<p>Does UVA's biz school fare well in job placement and recruiting? I hear their best programs are finance and accounting, which is just what I want to do, so I am obviously intrigued.</p>

<p>too late for him to apply for that program if he's about to start his soph year in college.</p>

<p>and UVA has excellent placement.</p>
