<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>If I am a student at a 2nd tier private college with a 3.85 gpa and have one year left until I graduate. I wish to transfer to BU and start a new major in accounting and stay there until it is finished (admissions said it would be okay for me to apply as a transfer even though I am a junior and most people transfer much earlier in their college careers) What do you think my chances are? I've won a couple of awards in this school, have a 3.9 gpa in my major (history), have done independent studies and will receive outstanding recommendations. The reason that I am transferring so late in the game is because I have always loved history and wanted to study it in the hopes of becoming a professor. However, in today's market landing a tenure-track position in humanities is about as difficult as winning the lottery. I would like to major in accounting and my school does not have a good accounting program. I know some people have suggested graduate school in accounting but I would have to take time off to study for the GMAT instead of just continuing through my studies uninterrupted. If I take summer classes I should be able to complete the accounting degree in 3 semesters and then try to find a job at a Big 4 firm if my grades are in range.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have any good ideas for what schools I should look at transferring to. I heard that Wake Forest University and Lehigh University also have very good accounting programs. I think schools like NYU Stern are a bit too hard to transfer into since they have thousands of applicants.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time!</p>
