<p>I go to a alright school ranked in the master’s north (us news), double major math/econ. for entry level jobs school is important but after that experience/internships is what they care for more is that right? i didnt do well in hs 2.2 gpa had a 90+ in first 2 years, next 2 years 70 average. is it worth transferring, ill probably have to drop the econ and just apply as a math major which shud help me. ill prolly have a 3.4 this semester. the sats werent amazing either didnt study much (took em cuz of a bet didnt really think i was gonna go to a 4 year school) got a 1700-1800</p>
<p>Generally speaking, the higher ranked the school, the better the companies that recruit there. However, what really counts for your career is relevant work experience. you can flash your ivy diploma around all you want, but a few years after graduation it doesn’t matter nearly as much as how well you have performed at your jobs.</p>
<p>It is always a good idea to transfer to a better school, mostly due to the networking opportunities at better schools. Getting the opportunity to meet some people who are bound for success due to their parents vast wealth can open up many many doors for your future.</p>
<p>You should try; I’ve been getting a lot of research done and if you want to work in a good company, I believe enrolling in a top school will HELP your chances by A LOT. However, the harder you work in your school, the better chances you have to get a good job in a good company.</p>
<p>First off, it isn’t always better to transfer to a better school. It depends a lot on the cost difference in the school and the payback received from going to each. Additionally, it depends on what kind of job you are shooting for, and which employers recruit at the respective schools.</p>
<p>Regardless, it sounds like your #1 worry should be getting your $hit together. Until you truly focus you won’t accomplish anything. However, if you do truly focus (and stay focused), it’s likely that you will be successful regardless of which school you attend.</p>
<p>BTW, it might help if you name the schools in question and the type of work you want to do upon graduation.</p>
<p>i go to cuny-brooklyn college and hope to work as in financial advisor/taxation or a related field. what i really hate about the whole admissions process that they want tons of ec’s / rec etc. to get into the school i go to now i filled out a 2 page app got stamps and money order brought that over to my college counselor and that was it.</p>
<p>I would highly recommend looking into CUNY - Baruch, It is a very good business school, and costs the same as Brooklyn College. In your case being that you are in NYC, it would be very beneficial for you to get out of Brooklyn, and get into the city. Other schools such as Baruch, yield a large number of recruiters. Check out the thread about business school undergrad rankings, Baruch is #41, while Brooklyn isn’t even on the list.</p>
<p>It would be very beneficial to your career to look into transferring to a better school. I tell you that from personal experience, As I am from Brooklyn and was considering Brooklyn College, but it is sub-par to some of the other CUNY schools. City College and Baruch are in essence the same school, as Baruch was found as City’s business school, which is in reality most likely the best fit for you.</p>
<p>You could look into private colleges as well, but the CUNY schools are a great value, especially Baruch. It is not so much the education, but the entry level job you get can make or break your career, and the networking opportunities at schools with good locations in Manhattan really help. You will be relatively close to NYU Stern students, Columbia Students, and others. Brooklyn doesn’t give you much networking opportunities, I know quite a few people who graduated/transferred, and the ones who transferred are happy they did, While the BMF students I know from Brooklyn that stayed were very unhappy with the jobs available to them.</p>
