<p>7 Ivies? no, the question is which ivy did you not apply to :P</p>

<p>There is such a large gap between ivies and the schhols you list, why not aim for some inbetween very good programs?</p>

<p>Consider</p>

<p>UMich
Berkeley Haas
CMU
NYU Stern
Boston College
UVA</p>

<p>how about the lower level? like UC Davis, Ivine, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz???</p>

<p>well mandolive, im not applying to harvard, they dont accept transfers this yr lol. Im not applying to some of the other schools mentioned bc i wanna stay in the northeast. i know nyu stern is in ny, 30 min from my house but i dont like the school, regardless of ranking. Boston College just seems like too religious, its a catholic school.</p>

<p>The school from which you graduate probably matters more for business jobs than it does jobs in other arenas. A grad of Syracuse will not have the same opportunities upon graduation as someone with a degree from NYU Stern. The folks that interview at ivies are not interviewing at the other schools on your list for the same jobs.</p>

<p>Given that you’re a transfer and you’re not talking about many years, you need to weigh how important location/campus/whatever is to you v. access to elite jobs. If you have a prayer of getting into an ivy, it would seem unfortunate for you to skip the schools between them and your list.</p>
