I’m heading to UNC Chapel Hill this fall, but these are the schools I’ll be aiming for as a transfer:
Georgetown McDonough
NYU Stern
UMich Ross
Northwestern Kellogg
Duke Fuqua
Cornell University
Dartmouth College
UPenn Wharton
UC Berkeley Haas
MIT Sloan
I know UNCCH is amazing, but it’s not as heavily recruited for IB or S&T as the schools I’d like to transfer into. Unfortunately, I only figured out I was interested in finance after I submitted most of my college applications. UNCCH is so good that the only schools worth transferring into all have pretty low transfer (and overall) acceptance rates, so I won’t be getting my hopes up.
I think I did this before but I guess I’ll just list some colleges I’m thinking about:
UCSD
UCLA
UCB
UCD
UCI
UCR (guaranteed admission!)
UCSB?
USC (if I get good financial aid)
I haven’t really looked at any other colleges that seriously, though. In my spare time I like to go on the websites for these colleges and look at the majors and the requirements and all the cool classes they have and what the dorms are like. I should have around a 3.8+ unweighted GPA and a 2200+ on the SAT by the time I graduate so hopefully I’ll get into at least one of these.
My top five are where I’d be awesomely happy and hopefully I’ll end up at one of them. The rest I either somewhat like or need to visit to figure out if I like them. I like a lot of colleges in California but traveling across country for college just isn’t practical or appealing to me.
@dsi411 same I stalk colleges hoping to live vicariously through student blogs and random major pages. Also I like looking at professors’ research. lol I can’t wait for college
Can’t think of a tenth currently, lol. Maryland and Boston U are definitely safeties. Boston College, Tufts and Northeastern are more matches, but I’d much prefer to attend Northeastern as a STEM major. MIT, Harvard and Carnegie Mellon are reaches. If I got into MIT or Harvard I’d probably soil myself.
