<p>I have recently transferred into Rutgers Business School at Newark as a junior and seek to transfer out of this school after the spring semester (will be applying as transfer applicant for fall of 2009). I did my first two years of school at a community college and completed with a 3.0, I have a 3.8 at Rutgers currently and will be performing similarly in the spring semester. I am aware that I will lose many credits if I am accepted, as I did before when transferring into Rutgers but am looking to transfer into a better school. I've completed 81 credits during the first 2 years at community college and have completed 15 credits at Rutgers and am attempting another 15 during the Spring semester. I am a Finance/Accounting double major with some related internship and work experience looking to transfer into another business school on the east coast. What are my chances at NYU-Stern(finance/accounting)/Villanova(finance/accounting)/Georgetown(finance/accounting)/Carnegie Mellon(finance/accounting)/Cornell(econ)/Columbia(econ)? Recommendations for schools are more than welcome! Thanks.</p>
<p>a 3.0 from a cc and one semester at rutgers and your applying to those schools? your really applying to columbia and stern with a 3.0 from a cc? i'm sorry, but thats a bit of a joke, you need to be way more realistic</p>
<p>all the schools that you mentioned are way out of your reach (perhaps except for villanova), be happy where your at unless you really hate rutgers in which case you need to temper your expectations by a lot</p>
<p>Why don't you just stay at Rutgers, keep your GPA up, and try for somewhere amazing for grad school? If you're only transferring for prestige, keep in mind that the undergrad institution won't matter very much to people if you go somewhere good for grad school. They're going to look mostly at where you got your terminal degree.</p>
<p>any other suggestions? any feedback is more than welcome! obviously its a long shot, I'm asking what other schools would be worth transferring to while losing a entire year of credits. i also got 2280 on my sat's</p>
<p>Transferring again, losing credits, and having to pay $40-50K a year for not just one year but an extra one, well, it just doesn't justify the expense. It's not worth it, especially if you're in state for Rutgers. Your SAT is very good, but unless you have excellent EC's or some justifiable reason for your average performance in CC, you really don't stand a chance to get into the big name schools because all they are going to see is that 3.0. A 3.0 is definitely not a bad thing, but those schools have plenty of applicants to choose from that have 4.0's instead, so it's just extremely unlikely that you'll be accepted.</p>
