<p>It is my second year at a JC in Northern California. Currently I have a 4.0/4.0 on track for all my units and pre-reqs for Business Administration. I am a Student Senator for my school and have an internship at a Real Estate Company for awhile now. I've also secured a letter from the CEO of this company as well. (Also in Business Club)</p>
<p>My hopes are to attend a Business School, ( CAL Haas, USC Marshall, NYU Stern.. etc. ). I am wondering, if i keep my grades and everything up to date. Is this going to a hard transfer?</p>
<p>In High School i was a 4.0+ student until my father became ill during the start of my junior year, challenging my attendance as my grades depleted.. I am very glad things got a lot better for my family and I've been working very hard! Please let me know what you guys think!!</p>
<p>ALSO!!</p>
<p>I am finishing 2 years at JC now, with 60+ Units. Now, are these colleges going to look at my highschool transcript, SAT scores, and etc? I was very confused about this. My knowledge was that these colleges dont look at my high school things if i finish 2 years in JC and have 60 units..</p>
<p>Check the Admissions websites. Some schools require SAT scores, others do not. They will however place less emphasis on your high school record because you have completed two years at JC. </p>
<p>Have you taken calculus? It is required at the majority of top 10 business schools and having done so will boost your chances. </p>
<p>As a junior transfer, you high school gpa will carry less weight (especially if you have a 4.0) you may have to take the SAT, but some schools don’t require the SAT for applicants whom have not taken it yet. It will vary on the school.</p>
<p>With that gpa, 60+ creds, and leadership positions, you should have no problems transferring. You will only be limited by SAT and what classes you’ve taken (some require calc II and some require more foreign language than others etc.)</p>
<p>Thank so much guys for your help. I am on the track of taking up to CALC II. I am taking it this sem. Which b-schools require the math track? Honsetly, I’ve only looked into USC Marshall, and I’m following the pre-reqs for that school atm. If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know!!</p>
<p>Also, what does it mean by regionally accredited? And yes! Johns Hopkins University Carey sounds awesome as well! Thank you!</p>
<p>No school requires higher than calc II for their business program. Wharton has perhaps the most rigorous pre-req list as they require a stat I & II sequence and an advanced econ course after your macro/micro.</p>
<p>Cal/nyu/usc all have roughly the same requirement except Cal requires 2-3 semesters of foreign language where as usc/stern do not.</p>
<p>Well it’s pretty much a requirement, so while it won’t boost your chances it does mean that you are eligible to apply as a transfer student.</p>
<p>And since it is accredited, your should really check out the JHU Carey Business School. It is a new program, which means its admission process is still undefined. I think that will help a strong JC student like yourself. Also Carey does not have a program for the first two years- you need 60 credits of education to get in- so it looks like it would be a perfect extension for you!</p>
<p>I know that JHU is a prestigious school for Medicine. However, do you think that JHU is going to be as strong for business? I am definately considering it, but do you think that JHU business school is on the lower end if we were to list the b-schools all by ranking? I really want to go to a top b-school. What do you think?</p>
<p>I’ve also been looking through, if some b-schools required SAT’s. A lot of these schools do require them… Do you think its a better idea for me to try taking the SAT’s for my first time? I might do bad… so I am scared of ruining my resume. I know that USC doesnt require SATs i believe but that is only one school so far =p</p>
<p>You still dealing with Undergrad, I bet you if you succeed at JHU’s Carey Business School, you will have access to same opportunities as students graduating from other “top” undergraduate business schools.</p>
<p>As for the SATs, it is not unheard for special cases being made for students who did not take the SAT in high school. You can call up the schools tomorrow and ask.</p>
<p>@NEU2NU - Are you affiliated with Carey at all? With the Dean and the people behind the school I have no doubt it will rise quickly amongst the ranks but the program itself is not the best fit for everyone. A friend of mine is involved in the administration of the school and I am helping push forward a 2+2 transfer agreement being created between my CC and Carey’s undergrad program at the moment so I can answer any questions regarding their program from a potential student perspective.</p>
<p>@jpark - I am in a similar position in that I am non-trad and never took the SAT/ACT and will be applying to usc/nyu/gtown/jhu and some other schools. None of them required me and even advised me not to take the SAT simply for admissions since I had already completed 60+ college credits.</p>
<p>@Kulakai, Ha ha I wish I was affiliated I maybe pushing it a bit hard. As soon as I read jpark’s thread, I remembered the Carey School and thought that it would be a good fit. </p>
<p>Out of curiosity, what is the 2+2 agreement? Do you know how many 2+2 agreements they have, and how many do they plan to have?</p>
<p>Thank you Kulakai for your input!
So the schools like usc, nyu, gtown, jhu and others doesnt require a SAT score if you have completed 60 units. Are you applying to their undergrad business program? If so, which other schools are you thinking of applying to? How hard is it to be accepted into JHU Carey? Do they have a specific pre-reqs that I should take before I make my trasnfer? I couldnt find out any information on their webpage…</p>
<p>Do you guys think I can do anything else to get my academics and resume to stand out? I am just not sure if I am doing everything that I could to become competitive…</p>
<p>At this point they have a number setup with cc’s in Maryland however the one I am working on with administration at my school will be the first out of state transfer agreement. Dean Gupta used to be the Dean of USC’s business school for many years and they are building the program nicely so it will be interesting to see where they are a few years from now.</p>
<p>A 2+2 agreement with Carey is where you do your first 2 years at your CC making sure you maintain a certain gpa and taking all the pre-reqs and you then transfer straight into JHU Carey and complete your BSBA there.</p>
<p>The internship, and the LOR from the CEO will have a huge impact. That on top of a 4.0, bodes very well for you! </p>
<p>I am not sure about the prereqs… that’s a question for kulakai ;p</p>
<p>Just stay involved, get those recs from teachers (business-math-econ preferred) and write a nice concrete essay, and you will be better off than most people :)</p>
<p>@ NEU2NU - Thank you so much, I’ve been taking this internship for a year now. Do you think that I should stick with this until I transfer or do you think I should look for another? Is it good to stick with one for a long time or have multiple internships?</p>
<p>does the internships i took during highschool years help at all? I took a SYEP Summer Internship at Kaiser Permanente after my Junior year. This was very competitive, they selected 13 people from about 400+ people. I also volunteer to play guitar for a church…</p>
I maybe pushing it a bit hard. As soon as I read jpark’s thread, I remembered the Carey School and thought that it would be a good fit. </p>
