<p>Hi, I currently attend Baruch College.</p>
<p>My freshman GPA was 3.8. I recently got admitted to Baruch Honors, and I am hoping to reach a 4.0 this semester.</p>
<p>My SATs in HS were... 650 math 480 reading. I didn't bother studying for it... Which kinda bite me in the ass.</p>
<p>Do you guys recommend I apply for a transfer to another business school for my undergrad? If so, where? (Cost is not an issue)</p>
<p>can someone help</p>
<p>what is it about Baruch that you dont like?</p>
<p>I actually like the school, but I just heard that their undergraduate degree is pretty much a joke.</p>
<p>I want to transfer to a school where I'll have a better opportunity to get into a top business school. (Like Columbia)</p>
<p>Emory University. I don't know much about it to be honest, but I know that their undergrad business is like 4th in the nation.</p>
<p>Thats where I'm going, and I have similar plans. I hope to go to Columbia for grad school after attending Emory.</p>
<p>Harv, are you transferring to get into a better undegraduate B-school or to get into a better graduate b-school? If you're looking for a good undergraduate program then you might want to try to study for the SAT and retake it. That would help boost your chances of admission at some of the more selective programs. If you're more interested in going into a graduate business school then you do not need to transfer. Admission in graduate-business schools is based more off of work experience than off of the school you graduated from.</p>
<p>To get into a top grad school, you need good working experience, no?</p>
<p>You think graduating from Baruch Honors would give me a good enough job to get into these top grad schools?</p>
<p>If you are doing that well at Baruch: Stay there! GPA is king when applying to law schools, graduate schools and for job interviews with major consulting/accounting firms. Even more important, any school that you transfer to will NOT count your freshmen GPA in their overall calculations. In a sense, you lose your GPA.</p>
<p>My advise: Stay where you are.</p>
<p>By the way, I also attended Baruch many years ago. I had a similar GPA to you. I had LOT of job offers. In fact, I rarely had anyone turn me down.If you are hoping to work in NY, Baruch has an amazing alumni base there.</p>
<p>Yeah, but I read some of your posts... That was when Baruch was on par with NYU. Baruch dropped a lot since then.</p>
<p>I'm really not sure what I should do.</p>
<p>Do not transfer to another school simply for graduate level admissions. MBA programs do not put much weight on where you got your undergraduate degree. They care about work experience more than anything. If you are a good business-person then you will get into good graduate level programs. If you are the next Gordon Gecko then they won't care where you graduated from. If there are other reasons you might want to transfer to a school, like better entry-level employment prospects, more challenge, better atmosphere, then go right ahead. It is not necessary for MBA programs, however.</p>
