Hey there,
Sorry for the delay, I missed the response notification.

Boston College (which I was denied from yesterday) told me that their transfer acceptance rate was tiny because of the prestige of the school. The same with Stern BTW. Lots of people apply within NYU to transfer from Econ -> Stern so you’d be competing with them and then external transfers like myself. They told me their transfer acceptance rate last year was single digits.

Baruch College (Zicklin Business) has specific criteria for direct admission to their b-school, make sure you check their website if you haven’t already. I was accepted into Baruch College but I didn’t make it into the b-school because I haven’t taken b-law and comp sci I think. However, AFAIK it’s open admission so as long as you meet minimum gpa and course requirements you’ll be allowed into the b-school.

You’ve looked at the common data sets for transfer acceptance rates right? They will be different from freshman acceptance rates. So I would move BC to a solid reach because it’s CSOM is a reach for almost everybody.

I don’t know about the competitive-ness of these FL schools, but I bet UVA-Mcintire’s transfer acceptance rate is lower than their overall acceptance rate.
