<p>Hi, I currently have to make the choice of staying at UCR Business Administration or transferring to USC Marshall Business Administration.</p>
<p>I have a 3.89 GPA at UCR
112 Units after Spring 2011</p>
<p>If I transfer to USC, I will have to pay almost half the tuition there, which is a lot of money, as opposed to if I stay at UCR, I get adequate financial aid where my parents and I do not have to worry so much. </p>
<p>If I go to USC, I might MIGHT have to stay there for more than 2 years, depending on which courses transfer over.</p>
<p>Which university should I choose? & why?</p>
<p>I really want to go to USC, but I have to persuade my dad & he wants me to stay at UCR...</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Oh this is tough. But considering how much you have to pay and how long you have to stay at USC, I would stay at UCR. Plus, if you already have made close relationships with a lot of people at UCR, I wouldn’t transfer… unless you have friends over there at USC. It’s usually really hard to make new relationships at a new school.</p>
<p>Schoolwise, USC is a better school and it’ll open a lot more options for you in the future. But that doesn’t mean you’ll get no opportunity from UCR. School is usually what you make of it… and you already achieved a solid GPA at UCR. </p>
<p>So, unless you really really want to go to USC, I would stay at UCR.</p>
<p>“if I stay at UCR, I get adequate financial aid where my parents and I do not have to worry so much.”</p>
<p>Only you and your family know what “so much” means, but the fact that you have posted this question here rather than simply accepting the offer of transfer admission to USC makes me think that “so much” means that USC probably would cost your family “too much”. Here is a useful calculator from our friends at FinAid.org. Run your financial aid offers through it, and see what you think: [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Award Letter Requirements - Finaid)</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
<p>Well, you should just stay in UCR if financial aid is the problem. You wouldn’t want to pull out many loans that would put you on debt for so long. Also, you are already close to finishing up your undergraduate. Perhaps, you can try applying to USC if you decide to get your MBA after receiving your BS/BA degree. </p>
<p>Of course it’s up to you. Good luck with your situation!</p>
<p>I would finish my undergrad at UCR and go to USC for MBA grad school.</p>
