<p>I am at Penn State right now but am not happy with it at all. I have a lease on an apartment for the year so i cant really transfer till afterwards. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good business schools particularly in the field of finance that I could transfer to (preferably one in a big city).</p>
<p>The clear answer is Stern.</p>
<p>Penn State University Park or a branch campus? I would also say stern.</p>
<p>that was my first choice school when i was sending out my applications but i didnt get in. They require i think 32 credits before you can be considered for a transfer, which i should be able to get at the end of this year, but will I really have that much better of a chance after just 1 year? Are there any other large city business colleges with lower admissions requirements possibly? I am currently at Penn State Harrisburg not the main campus.</p>
<p>Indiana would be the best overall.</p>
<p>My hs GPA was 3.4. My SAT scores were 660M, 600W, and 560CR. For the subj tests 690math1, and 580math2. Assuming I get about a 3.8 GPA at the end of the year from Penn State do you think I would be within range for NYU? If not what are some other reasonable reaches?</p>
<p>any others besides indiana?</p>
<p>Why not just try to get into main campus? Smeal is a great business school.</p>
<p>^ That's true - Smeal is a top-ranked business school. This isn't a bad option.</p>
<p>The problem is that if you're at Penn State-Harrisburg, you're not at "Penn State", you're at Penn State-Harrisburg. There is a clear difference between the two, and firms in the U.S. recognize Smeal, the Penn State B-School, as a top-ranked, competitive program, whereas firms have not heard of Penn-State Harrisburg's B-School program.</p>
<p>I could wait 2 years for guaranteed transfer to Smeal but I really don't plan on staying here for that long. I'm not sure if they allow 1 year transfers between campuses because if not I may have to consider other schools.</p>
<p>I'd wait 2 years. Apply to Smeal. Apply to others if you like. Most business programs restrict upper-level courses to juniors that have met all pre-reqs, qualifying grades and admission into the major.</p>
