Searching for a school in the Northeast

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Im want to find a school to work towards. I will be attending USF St.Pete in 2010, but I would like to finish my education in a school in the northeast so I can more easily find my CPA job over there. Im looking for a school that has a strong business and math department and that meets my financial situation. </p>

<p>I have an EFC of 22,000 right now and the only reason I'm not attending a CC is because my grandparents gave me about 40 grand to go to college with, which I will be using for my first two years. I have a very bad relationship with my parents, bad enough to make them not contribute to my EFC at all, just a plane ticket out of their house. My high school grades are a poor 2.8 with an ACT of 29. I don't have ANY scholarships that I have received from my university because most of their schools are need-based for their COA of 18K. However I see my self improving by a lot since my addiction is cured. Im going to work nearly full time during the two years I am at USFSP so by the time Im ready to transfer I would have a bit more than 15K in my pocket to use for the rest of my tuition. I will continue working as a transfer to make the ends meet.</p>

<p>I wish to look for a school that is strong in the Accounting + Statistics department because those are my preferred majors. I also wish to have a school that gives generous Merit Aid for transfer students so I can get my education at a low cost. I wish to know the schools Im aiming for early so I can take the required classes for transferring and so that I have a goal of what my GPA is supposed to be so that I can get the scholarships and get in the school.</p>

<p>Double BUMP. I did some research on the US News and World Report and found that SUNY-Binghamton and SUNY-Buffalo are tier-1 institutions that have affordable COAs for OOS students. Are their accounting and math programs any good?</p>

<p>SUNY Binghamton is our top SUNY. If you are transferring in as a Sophomore they will look at your high school grades and you would have a hard time being admitted. SUNY Buffalo is not as highly ranked as Binghamton, but you might still have a tough time being admitted.</p>

<p>If you are transferring in as a Junior and your college grades are good then disregard the above.</p>

<p>Both schools are very good and I am sure you would find what you are looking for.</p>

<p>You might also consider Baruch.
[Zicklin</a> School Of Business - Baruch College - CUNY](<a href=“http://zicklin.baruch.cuny.edu/]Zicklin”>http://zicklin.baruch.cuny.edu/)</p>

<p>Out of state tuition is $415 per credit hour - pretty affordable.</p>
