Transfer Students

<p>So for those of you who got accepted, are you gonna go?</p>

2

<p>without a doubt</p>

3

<p>If I get into Amherst and it’s cheaper - no.</p>

<p>Otherwise - yes.</p>

4

<p>A friend got in, but is going to Middlebury instead (so far).</p>

<p>kdanieli, why do you always refer to yourself as “a friend”. We all know its you!</p>

<p>kdanieli started this thread a while ago: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=336448[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=336448&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Sorry mojojojo69. I never refer to myself as “a friend,” as that would be psychotic.</p>

<p>None of the transfers I’m talking about here is me. I took an honors course at a local community college and I have several friends who are transferring to 4-year colleges. They’'ve been admitted to Cornell, Columbia, Siena, Binghamton, Bates, Brown, Colby, Middlebury, Tulane, Mt St. Mary’s, Stony Brook, Harvard, Vassar, Wesleyan, Baruch, NYU, Swarthmore, and more. </p>

<p>I have a BS and an MBA. See bottom of this page: <a href=“http://kdanieli.com/id1.html[/url]”>http://kdanieli.com/id1.html&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>It’s not me. :)</p>

<p>So have you met Cindy? :)</p>

<p>oh, so all this time u have been asking about admissions information…it was all for friends? you got some lazy friends!!! lol</p>

<p>Thanks for watching and evaluating. I’m sure it’s very valuable to everyone here.</p>

<p>kdanieli - where’d you get your bachelor’s degree?</p>

12

<p>Boston University</p>

13

<p>sweet just interested given where you got your MBA.</p>

<p>I think it’s on that page he linked to btw.</p>

<p>So I’m still looking at $32,000 in loans for two years, which is more than my mother makes in a year and almost as much as my father makes. I’m still very unhappy with that package. Ridiculous.</p>

15

<p>My BU profs thought I’d like Kellogg, suggested that I apply there, and gave me good recommendations, (I guess.)</p>

16

<p>BU was a lot harder than Kellogg, btw. </p>

<p>BU didn’t hand out As and didn’t even hand out Bs. If you worked hard at BU, you’d probably get a B. If you worked really hard and really didn’t get almost anything wrong, and did all the extra work, you’d earn an A. A few things wrong and you could easily get marked down to an A- (3.7) The existence of the A- option for professors makes it hard to get close to the 4.0.</p>

<p>My BU undergrad GPA was slightly above 3.8 and that put me in the top 1%. In many schools the top 2-5% (more?) would have a 4.0…and a 3.8 would put you at top 15-20% of class. Not at BU - only 5 people in my SMG graduating class of over 600 people class had a GPA higher than 3.8.</p>

<p>renix, so this is ur brown package of 35 gs in loans? ouch, dont take it!! too much!!</p>

18

<p>well, about 16 in federal loans and 16 in family contribution (which really means more loans)</p>

<p>I found out one good piece of information: the average debt at graduation from Brown is around 18k…but that figure DOES NOT INCLUDE the FAMILY CONTRIBUTION portion of the bill!!</p>
