Transferring List----Opinions

Transfer Students
1

<p>I will soon be transferring from a well-known competitive community college in upstate New York to a four-year college for Business. I would like to go to a top notch business school with recruitment. I am a 3.8 student with a low SAT(1120) in Honors at my junior college. Here's my list of business schools, if anyone can add any schools or tell me my chances of acceptance to them I'd appreciate it.</p>

<p>Cornell<br>
NYU<br>
Yale
Syracuse<br>
Univ. of Miami<br>
USC
UCLA<br>
UNC- Chapel Hill<br>
Penn
Berkeley<br>
Harvard<br>
MIT</p>

<p>I dont want to be negative but you may want to look into a few schools that are a little easier to get into. I say this not becasue you dont have a good chance at getting in, but because you dont have the luxery of staying where you are if for some reason you dont get in anywhere. </p>

<p>I wouldnt even apply to yale, harvard or mit. They have such low acceptance rates that you would probably just be throwing away money. Other than that, Penn, Berkeley, and Cornell are reach schoola but I suggest that you go for it. Plus, if you end up at the others, they are still great schools.</p>

<p>Syracuse seems like a saftey for her.</p>

4

<p>UCLA doesn't even have an undergrad business major unless you want Business Econ. You might want to reconsider that one...</p>

5

<p>I would add UVA to your list. Top 25 school with top 10 Undergrad business program and generally transfer friendly.</p>

6

<p>Yale and Harvard don't have undergrad business. That plus the fact that they're super-super reaches for you means it'd probably be a good idea to take them off your list.</p>

<p>I'd also add a few second tier programs to your list. As is stands right now, you might end up receiving a thick stack of thin letters.</p>

<p>BTW, what's your real GPA? In your other thread you listed a 3.45.</p>

<p>I'm assuming you'll be transfering from OCC?</p>

<p>Cornell - reach school. If you want business apply to CALS. (i'm a student at Cornell now, i transfered from OCC)
NYU - also reach, but i'd give you a better shot than Cornell
Yale - very very difficult, save your $70
Syracuse - reasonabe safety
Univ. of Miami - good shot
USC - not sure about transfer
UCLA - not sure how they are with NY transfers
UNC- Chapel Hill - also a reach for out-of-staters
Penn - reach school
Berkeley - reach school
Harvard - save your money!
MIT - ditto, buy a good text book instead</p>

<p>add some more safety schools. Perhaps SUNY albany or Binghamton. The rest looks like a pretty good list.</p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, that would help a lot.</p>

<p>3.45, yea as of now its that, something got messed up with my grades</p>

10

<p>will be a 3.7 by end of semester</p>

11

<p>Look into CUNY Baruch and SUNY Binghamton</p>

12

<p>Those should be safety schools. I would definately apply to all the schools on your list (harvard, yale, mit are a waste of money) and add UNC, georgetown, and UVA</p>

13

<p>All the non-Ivy schools on there should be a definte in for you. Maybe Berkley and UCLA are reaches, not too familiar with the UC system being an East Coast boy myself. If you really want Yale, give it a whirl. If they don't take you, who cares. Do you really want to go to school where that girl from Gilmore Girls goes anyway (or at least pretends to)?</p>

14

<p>If your from out of state, actually, even in state, cal is really hard to "break into" and is probably more of a reach than some of the harder ones</p>
