Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi, I’m currently attending Stern as a freshman and i’m looking into transfering. Stern is a wonderful place to be but I feel that I’m putting too big a financial burden on my parents so I would like go to a school that will give me full or almost full scholarship. [Is this a reason not good enough for transfer?] I am currently a finance major but I would like to be in marketing instead.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
SAT: M 770, CR 760, W 680
HS GPA: 4.0 / 100.4 [Rank 4 out of 429]
HS ECs & Honors:

  • Varsity golf team captain,
  • President of Mu Alpha Theta
  • VP of National Honor Society
  • Volunteer at local library 100+ hours
  • National Merit Commended
  • Texas Scholar Athelete
  • AP Scholar with Distinction
    AP Scores:
  • 5 BC Calculus
  • 5 World History
  • 4 US History
  • 4 Computer Science A
  • 4 Biology
  • 4 Macroeconomics</p>

<p>College GPA: Not sure yet but I’m getting A’s in my classes
College ECs:

  • Stern Scholars Program
  • Volunteer at a local after school tutoring program
  • Varsity Golf Team
  • Member of few business clubs</p>

<li><p>I’m worried about my recs since I’m in classes with many MANY other students… I do have two professors in mind but should I ask for a rec from my golf team coach also?</p></li>
<li><p>I applied to UPenn for freshmen admission but was waitlisted. Does this decrease my chances of getting in as a transfer? What if I apply again to a school I was rejected from?</p></li>
<li><p>I’m considering UTA as my safety since I’m in-state and was admitted for freshmen admission, but since i rejected them does this also decrease my chances of getting in?</p></li>
<li><p>What colleges would give full scholarship in undergraduate business school? My EFC was near 0.</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t have a set list of schools I want to apply to. Any suggestions, please?</p></li>

<li>If you are recruitable for golf, maybe. </li>
<li>No it doesn’t decrease your chances. If you were rejected from a school, it might mean you don’t have what they’re looking for; it might have been the luck of the draw (the selective schools all have to reject well-qualified applicants); you might look stronger to them this year.</li>
<li>No. Not at all.</li>
<li>This you will have to research - merit $$ is very stingy for transfers. But some schools offer it. With your EFC very low, check the schools’ policies on % need filled for transfer students.</li>
</ol>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Financial considerations are always important and can easily justify a transfer.
I have no idea where a transfer could find a full/almost full ride.</p>
