<p>Considering applying to:
Cornell
Johns Hopkins (was waitlisted)
Northwestern</p>
<p>Before going to college, I was planning to major in both International Relations (which was why I applied to Tufts) and Economics, but my mind has recently shifted more to Economics.
Currently, I'm considering to pursue a career on the financial sector, so I think the colleges I'm hoping to transfer will help more in the pursuing of my career.</p>
<p>For your reference, I was waitlisted but denied in the end from JHU. Is there a better or worse chance in transferring to a college that I was waitlisted?</p>
<p>Ask me any further information needed.
Thank you.</p>
<p>I think you should be fine for JHU, especially since you were waitlisted and still have a strong interest for it.</p>
<p>I think Cornell and Northwestern would be a lot harder. However, for Cornell, I think you would be a great fit for the Applied Economics and Management major in the CALS subdivision. although the school is known for agricultural studies, the major itself is one of the best programs out there. Also, I know that Northwestern has a great business and economics program for undergrad, as well as the Kellogg school of management. so if you do well at northwestern for undergrad, you will probably get priority at its b-school. </p>
<p>ccpsux, i’m actually not sure about that and wanted to ask about the difference of applying on either terms (less admission rate, in terms of adapting to a new environment, etc.). I do know that most of the Ivies only accept Fall term.</p>
<p>winonanot, thanks for your careful advice. never even knew about the CALS subdivision…:). do you know how good the economics program in JHU is?</p>
