<p>Georgetown (McDonough School of Business)-big reach
American (Kogod Business)- match
Northwestern (Arts and Sciences)-reach
Columbia (Columbia College)- HUGE reach
Emory- slight reach
NYU (Stern)- big reach
Northeastern (Business Admin.)-lock</p>

<p>If you’re that desperate to transfer you might want to look at more “realistic” schools, otherwise stick it out another year at Miami and make yourself a more viable applicant. My knowledge on good business programs that have a “decent” transfer rate is pretty limited, so you might want to keep on fishing around the cc forum.</p>

<p>thanks Orson</p>

4

<p>Did you take the SAT?</p>

5

<p>nope…only the ACT</p>

6

<p>I also wish to transfer to Stern. Does anyone know the transfer rate? Thanks very much!</p>

7

<p>I believe the transfer rate for this year’s class was around 2%.</p>

8

<p>anybody else?? please</p>

9

<p>emory accepts 36% of transfers or around there, i think that a 3.7 from UM is pretty decent.</p>

<p>However, I have no knowledge of admissions but wish you the best my friend.</p>

10

<p>For NYU it was 2%. I confirm that. But you can always apply. The most you can get is a rejection letter.</p>

11

<p>^the least he can get is a rejection letter.</p>

<p>the most he can get is an acceptance letter. :smiley: glass half full :D</p>

12

<p>haha thanks Castiel</p>

13

<p>no problem I got your back</p>

14

<p>Does anyone know if it’s easier to transfer into Emory as a Junior rather than a Sophomore? By my Junior year I should have a 3.5 college GPA, will my high school ACT scores even matter by then? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

15

<p>if you apply for junior transfer, your hs record doesn’t matter as much. however, a 3.5 is still low for some schools on your list, especially stern, columbia(the minimum gpa is 3.5), and northwestern. i think emory is possible. try looking into a relevant internship, it would definitely help for stern and emory.</p>

16

<p>Would it be easier to transfer to Emory with a lower GPA from Duke or with a higher GPA from UT-Austin (McCombs)?</p>

17

<p>who in his right mind would transfer from duke to emory???</p>

<p>Hey! I’m a senior whose getting ready for college. Can you guys evaluate me and tell me your opinions on whether you think i can get into Stern or not? I’m debating over whether I should be doing Early Decision or not… would my chances be higher if I did?</p>

<p>Cumulative GPA: 3.45 (unweighted)
I take the IB diploma program, so I’m pretty sure my GPA would get weighted depending on the schools. I know my GPA isn’t the best, and this is my GPA so far from Junior year. If I go early, then this is what they would be seeing. If I apply normally, my GPA this semester I know would be higher, but then again the acceptance rate would go down if I apply with everyone else… right?</p>

<p>My GPA for Junior Year was 3.57 and 3.625</p>

<p>SAT scores</p>

<p>SAT I
Math - 750
Critical Reading - 700
Writing - 800
Total: 2250
(Best sittings combined)</p>

<p>SAT II

<p>Are my chances okay? Do you think I will be able to get in? I’m hoping my admission essay, other activities and SAT scores make up for my GPA. I also attend an international school in Japan. Thanks for the help!</p>
