Transferring from MSU to Stern School of Business at NYU

<p>Hi All,
I am currently enrolled in the Honors College at Michigan State University and I am looking to get out of the state and hopefully to NYU's Stern School of Business.</p>

<p>Looking for thoughts!</p>

<p>I was accepted to University of Michigan, Colby College, Wesleyan University, and MSU after high school.</p>

<p>My Accolades are as followed:
ACT: 31
GPA: 3.94
APs: BC Calc, Psychology, Literature
College Courses: Took 2 college courses at a local community college
Excellent College Essays</p>

<p>extracurricular:
- Governor of Student Senate, Ran daily class that put on all philanthropies, dances, drives, Member of my towns School Board of Education, Gave Commencement Speech at Graduation
- 4-year member and 3-year captain of Varsity Hockey
- Member of NHS
- Big Brother at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan
- Other clubs, etc.</p>

<p>AT MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY:
- After 1 semester at MSU's honors college, I have a 4.0 GPA with 2 honors level classes
- Joined Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity where I have an executive board position running a $1,000 scholarship to applicants. Also my classes Social Chair.
- Member of MSU's Finance Association and MSU's Students Consulting for Non-Profit Organizations.</p>

<p>I have an internship with a financial service company lined up for this summer as well..</p>

<p>I am looking to transfer to NYU's stern school of business, but I am aware that it has a very low acceptance rate and I am wondering if their CAS school would be the better option for me.</p>

<p>I believe I would've been accepted had I applied out of HS, but my financial situation was not going to work out.</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>What do you hope to gain by transferring to NYU? Is it that you prefer an urban environment? Are the academics at MSU not challenging enough? Most importantly, do you still have the financial constraints that you did when you originally applied to colleges? With a 4.0 from MSU, you may want to look into Michigan’s Ross School if you want a cheap school with an outstanding business program.</p>
