<p>I am currently at Ohio State , doing accounting. I am a junior now, and i am inclined on getting into an inv. bank after graduation. Recently I met a friend who works at UBS, he told me that Northwest econ graduates are hired in big numbers.
However taking a transfer seems to be a little hard. Can someone please guide me on pre reqs for getting admission into the econ program. </p>
<p>What would my chance be</p>
<p>SAT 1310/1600 (700 M 610 V)
3.86
honors accounting at OSU
I have A’s in all the econ classes I took
ECs arent great.</p>
<p>as an undergrad, you would apply to northwestern, and not the department. almost nobody transfers as a senior, so i wouldn’t recommend it. if you want to go to grad school at NU economics, gl, since the acceptance rate is like 3-4%.</p>
<p>You will have to start as a junior at Northwestern. So you will have to be willing to lose one year. But I am not sure if they allow a junior from another school to transfer.</p>
<p>When I apply to Northwestern I’ll be a junior(I have just turned junior, just completed my sophomore year), NU writes on its websites- ppl who have completed substantially more coursework after 2 year of undergraduate education are discouraged to apply, however in my case… I have barely completed 2 years of undergrad. education.
Is there any1 who transferred to NU ??</p>
<p>I think you should talk to the admission dean directly. The thing is by the time you get the decision, you will have already taken 3 years of coursework at ohio state? But since you are not majoring in econ at Ohio State, you may have a good case.</p>
<p>as Sam Lee said, you will have almost completed your junior year by the time you are offered or denied admission, meaning you will have completed 3 years of undergrad by the time you matriculate (this is all hypothetical b/c the point is, you won’t be accepted due to this rule).</p>
<p>But they may make an exception since you are not majoring in econ at ohio state. If you were, they would think you would be almost repeating the major since you would have had substantial amount of coursework in the field.</p>
