<p>Hi, I am a sophomore(rising junior) engineering major/econ minor at Michigan and currently have a 3.5 - 3.6 gpa
.
I know I missed the deadline for fall transfer, so I am planning to apply for transfer next year to get into northwestern as a junior. So I am guessing if I do transfer I'll repeat a year but I dont have a problem with that. </p>
<p>I want to transfer into the econ program because:
1. I am sick of studying engineering
2. I DO NOT want to be an engineer at any point in my life
3. Northwestern econ is target for ibanks. Michigan econ, not so much, and michigan engineering is probably a soft target (I dont know because logically i would think they arent but i always see BBs at engineering fairs here)</p>
<p>Do you think I have much of a chance for transfer? I know my gpa is low but it's from one of the top engineering programs out there and engineering is known to have deflated gpa.</p>
<p>Also, I am just wondering, would northwestern econ be a significant upgrades in terms of opportunities available for ibanking opportunities, I mean compared to michigan engineering if I stick it out.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
