<p>Hi, I'm a student at SJSU (with consulting/ibanking/finance/or CPA desired jobs) right now looking to xfer out junior year (or after my 60 credits) and GED. I've been looking at undergrad b-school req's and they are similar with some different courses here and there but still vary some. I want to apply to many schools to increase my chances of getting in one and I don't want to be just set on xferring to one school because if say I don't get applied, I'm screwed. So will I have to take all their course requirements before applying? Schools around here don't even have some of the courses needed to get admitted to undergrad b-programs. That might be another semester of courses too, just to apply to another school. Can someone clear this up??</p>
<p>and what do you guys think of SJSU business undergrad program. I know its not a prestigious school, but I heard for being a CSU and in CA, that is it very good although I would like to attend a more prestigious school.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>CSU will def not help you get into a top investment bank or Consulting firm...</p>
<p>You need to have the pre-reqs done for any of the top schools to consider you competitive </p>
<p>Whats your SAT score/ gpa/ any biz ecs/ you also need a good reason for transferring besides prestige. you are also going to have to explain why you have a ged and not a high school diploma for top schools was it b/c of disciplinary reasons?</p>
<p>Is it worth it to loose credits or take on another year so you can fulfill credit requirements? depends...if you intend on going into banking or consulting...i say yes....coming from a top 20 school will help you tremendously in the recruiting process. </p>
<p>your post might be better served in the transfer forum...</p>
<p>Thanks guys for reading that confusing post
sorry, I meant after i complete my General Ed at sjsu :P and I do have my hs diploma.
I know I won't be able to get into top schools/banks even, but I would just like to xfer out to a better school (sorry if I used the word prestigious, I just meant better) - like ucla, ut austin, davis, anywhere thats better basically</p>
<p>I was just kind of confused because to transfer out you need x and x courses, but they differ from each college. I want to be able to apply to several colleges so it looks like I might have to take another year of those courses like you said.</p>
<p>and I'm still not certain on how good SJSU's business program is... I know it is good but surely going to any of the schools mentioned above wouldn't hurt me right? Any other inputs on SJSU's undergrad and grad business program?</p>
<p>Definitely transfer out. SJSU is good for Big 4 accounting, but I don't hear about too many SJSU alums getting ibanking or consulting jobs.</p>
<p>Obviously since your from CA, the UC system will be more inclined to admit you, however CSU to UC is not that common. Good luck.</p>
