Which Colleges Should a Junior Finance Major Attempt to Transfer to?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi guys.</p>

<p>I have just completed my freshman year at Missouri Southern State University and I'm majoring in finance. Because of financial issues, I'll be completing another year at MSSU.</p>

<p>I'm almost certain that I'll have to transfer if I want to achieve my goal of becoming an analyst (in corporate finance) in a region other than southwest Missouri.</p>

<p>I have a 4.0 GPA. I have taken financial accounting and business calculus. I'm taking microeconomics right now and in the fall, I'll take statistics, managerial accounting, and macroeconomics.</p>

<p>I'll definitely be applying to the University of Missouri and the University of Richmond. I need to find universities that meet a high percentage of need for transfer students. </p>

<p>I know that I will have no problem transferring to the University of Missouri, but does anyone have suggestions of other universities that would accept me as a junior transfer student?</p>

<p>Does MSSU has a transfer office? I’m sure they would give you a long list</p>

<p>@4kidsdad It does have a transfer office, but it’s for students who are transferring to MSSU. </p>

<p>You may want to investigate the following schools:

See <a href=“Missouri Southern State University Degree Programs, Online Courses and Admissions Information”>http://www.collegeatlas.org/missouri-southern-state-university.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also try to ask your nearby community colleges’ transfer offices. They should know any transfer-friendly schools. For example, St. Louis Community College has an impressive list: <a href=“http://www.stlcc.edu/admissions_and_registration/transfer_information/Transfer_Guides.html”>http://www.stlcc.edu/admissions_and_registration/transfer_information/Transfer_Guides.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>@4kidsdad My reason for transferring is so that I can go to a university with a better business school. The University of Missouri’s in Columbia is the best one in Missouri besides Washington University’s. </p>

<p>My understanding is that finance is a prestige-driven field. Would you agree with that? </p>

<p>^^Are you looking to work at “finance firms in NYC”? See <a href=“Maybe looking to transfer to a smaller school, Berkeley is a bit LARGE - #31 by vengasso - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1158084-maybe-looking-to-transfer-to-a-smaller-school-berkeley-is-a-bit-large-p3.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>@4kidsdad: I would actually love to work at a middle-market investment bank in Boston or D.C. Of course I wouldn’t refuse to live in NYC, but I’d prefer a slightly smaller city. </p>

<p>I was browsing Piper Jaffray’s website and it wants people who have gone to a tier 1 business school. I don’t see how I can be accepted to or afford a college like Michigan or Wharton. </p>

<p>Does anyone have any other opinions?</p>
