OK…so seems like I can transfer all of 60 units from my community college in California to GS. But I’m still hearing that it usually takes 5 or more semesters for transfer students to graduate from GS.

I’m considering to major in economics or econ-operations research. Is it realistically possible to graduate in 4 semesters? Are there anybody here who graduated or will graduate in 4 semesters after transfer? How tough is it going to be? No life outside library? I know it is totally case by case, but I want to know general opinions from GS students and how many of you actually do it.

Because of financial issue, I really want to graduate in 2 years. I’m one of the guys who are having hard time to choose from Columbia GS econ or UCLA biz-econ, where I can for sure graduate in 2 years. I know life at UCLA will be wonderful, but Columbia and life at NYC are just so hard to give up…
