Transferring to NYU Stern

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I am currently enrolled at the University of Miami as a chemistry major, although I have changed my major to mathematics with an economics concentration. I am interested in transferring as classes are too easy, the school lacks competition, and I want to find top schools for majoring in finance. I was wondering a few things, specifically about NYU.</p>

<ul>
<li>If I apply to NYU Stern, can they choose to not accept me for Stern but allow me to attend the Arts/Sciences college for economics?</li>
<li>Based on my information below, do I have a good shot for transferring to NYU Stern?</li>
<li>What other schools would you suggest for finance? I’ve taken a look at Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, and Columbia thus far. I’d like to be somewhere in the northeast if possible.</li>
