<p>I just finished my sophmore year at stern and am graduating a year early so I can help you out.</p>

<p>You have an good chance at getting into Stern. Stern accepts transfers usually only when students transfer out or they see amazing applicants. UMD is a good school and if your grades stay great, I'm sure you get in. Keep it at or above a 3.5.</p>

<p>You should beware though, Stern is absolutely, positively competitive once you're in there. Grades in Stern classes are based solely on your peers and they work very hard. If you transfer in as a junior though, you will have missed the brunt of easier stern classes with brutal curves, in junior/senior classes the curve helps you. Also you will be in a great opportunity to get one of those amazing Ibanking internships once you get in, since every finance firm does on campus recruiting in the fall of your junior year.
Good luck.</p>
