<p>I'm a freshman at Michigan State. I ended up here for financial reasons, and would like to transfer. This school is way too big (both population wise and campus size wise) and the business program is not impressive, it's too regional. I'm looking for a better business school.</p>
<p>The schools i'm applying to are the following, I don't need help with this list:
Cornell University
University of Michigan
University of Virginia
University of Texas
University of North Carolina: Chapel Hill
University of Southern California</p>
<p>I realize some of these programs are near impossible to get into, not too worried about it, I can always stay here. My worry is that i'm going to be looked at because of what I did in high school.</p>
<p>I had a 1300 SAT and a 3.7 GPA. In college, i'm hoping that I can get a 3.8+, I don't have any grades yet, as I just arrived on campus. </p>
<p>My question is, am I pretty much rejected at most of these schools, as they will heavily weigh my HS record, and not really care about my first semester grades in college? I know Michigan is a 3 year program, so there is no way around it. Should I wait another year on all the other schools? I figured I had a decent chance at all of them.</p>
<p>are you allowed to transfer directly into the Ross Business school at U of M? Cuase I know that freshman take one semester at U of M then second semester apply to be able to take classes at ross....are you applying to ross or u mich?</p>
<p>Are you thinking that a 1300 SAT (old?) and 3.7 GPA will keep you out of selective schools? If you do, you are spending too much time on cc.</p>
<p>Those are good hs stats. Combined with a good college record and good professor recommendations, they should help you, not hurt you. Make sure you are taking a strong program and find ways, even in a big school, to know professors/TAs well enough to get a good recommendation.</p>
<p>They will definitely care about your first semester college grades. Most transfer apps are not due until March, so they will have your first semester grades, and possibly mid-term spring grade estimates before their decisions.</p>
<p>LOL, I do have around 150 posts, i'm spending a bit too much time here.</p>
<p>That is an old SAT, M+V. The new one was 1950 I believe, I got around 650 on all the sections. 660 math, 640 verbal, 650 (?) writing. Writing may have been lower.</p>
<p>I'd be applying to Ross, so I would have to transfer for sophomore status.</p>
<p>Many of the applications don't require teacher recommendations. Should I still get them? I'm kind of worried about going to my professors and asking for them, because it's not like a CC where they want to see you go other places, they want you to stay here.</p>
<p>If they don't require recommendations, I don't think you need to bother. However, don't worry about asking for recs for schools which want them or make them optional. Tell them that you are looking for a smaller school, or that you are thinking your career will be in a different geographic area, so you think a different school will be better for you. (ALthough I don't know how small some of those schools are, LOL; but you get the idea. Give them a reason why you are transferring which does not offend the current school).</p>
<p>After a year of credit (30 Semester Hours), UTexas does not require a HS transcript or test scores, so you may want to wait until your second-year.</p>
<p>The others will require your HS transcript and most will also want the tests.</p>
<p>My question is though, will my HS transcript keep me out of these schools? How much weight gets put into HS work for those who are trying to transfer after one year?</p>
