<p>What are my chances at my top choices and what are some other schools I should look into.</p>
<p>Geez, I know that for UT-Austin it’s almost impossible to transfer into McCombs from OOS. The admit rate is around 5%. The average GPA of the admitted applicant is 3.94. The last 4 years they have only accepted 6-18 students per year, and they receive around 150 applications per year. You have a very good application but it’s real difficult, however I think you stand a chance to be one of the few.</p>
<p>UNC-Chapel Hill is not too hard to transfer into. I think the admit rate is around 40%. Remember though that for Kenan Flagler you have to enroll in CAS for a semester, and then go to the B-School. I am not too aware with OSU transfer but overall their admissions aren’t too difficult.</p>
<p>Thanks, I will keep that in mind. If I were accepted into UNC, I think I have to complete one Calculus course for prereq. fulfillment. I can get started on my language major while doing that. Thanks for you knowledge.</p>
<p>Wow you have an incredible workload! 40-50 hours and a full courseload? That’s insane. </p>
<p>I think you’re a great applicant, but like A2Wolves said, McCombs accepts VERY few OOS applicants. If you go to McCombs’ website, you can view the # of applicants overall, # accepted overall, # applied/accepted in state and OOS. I think overall they took a/b 80 people last year, and 70 of them were in state. </p>
<p>I think you’ll easily get into UNC - CH. Good luck.</p>
<p>Thank a lot bran_182. </p>
<p>Yeah I’ve always had to work a lot. Last semester I was pulling all nighters at least 1 a week. This semester I’m going to take it easy and only work 35 hours a week. I have my own apartment, so I have to work a lot.</p>
<p>Any private schools, anyone think I should look into. </p>
<p>My major is Finance and major or minor in Arabic.</p>
<p>Penn
MIT
Notre Dame
NYU
Emory
Carnegie Mellon
Cornell
Washington U St. Louis
USC
Georgetown</p>
<p>yes i’ll be applying to WUSTL as well. They have a high transfer rate for such a great university (33% last year) and I’ve heard they give preference to 2 year students.</p>
<p>Wow, do you think I have a chances at some of those schools? I don’t think I will try for a IVY league but Emory, Georgetown and WUSTL seem like good reaches. Don’t know how they treat transfers from CC, but from what you said from your post it sounds good. </p>
<p>Does anyone know about Carnegie Mellon in Qatar? What’s that all about? </p>
<p>I’m a NY state resident so maybe Cornell will look twice at me?? </p>
<p>I want to move to a warmer climate, Upstate New York, it’s winter 9 months of the year. Brrr.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>I’m going to take a year off starting Fall 2007. I will return back to school Fall 2008, hopefully as a Junior. However, I am going to go to school part time to increase my math. Right now I’m only in Precalc, and I’m going to recieve my 2 year degree this semester. I want to complete Calc II. Also I’m going to take one or two accounting courses and complete Arabic 1 2 and 3. </p>
<p>Should I apply to all schools for Fall 2007, even though I have no intention of attending. Do you think it will hurt my chances if I take a year off to get into transfer schools?</p>
<p>This is what I plan on doing. </p>
<p>Spring 2007- Costa Rica Study Abroad
Fall 2007- Disney Professional Internship (Relating to Finance)
Spring 2008- Part Time Studies.</p>
