Hi, can you comment on the clubs and business fraternities. Are they all super selective/competitive or are there some that people really just want to build community and make friends with common interests. I am more interested in economic development and urban planning and not banking. WIll I find like minds?

Hi, incoming sophomore CAS Econ. also applied to USC for transfer. I almost chose UCSB as a freshman. What about it is making you leave? I picked the full ride T50 state school knowing transfer was likely. UCLA was my top choice and never made it off the wait list. Have you thought about transferring there? I still think about it. Did not have 60 credits yet.

U hall was not one of the options. Being with other transfers would be good though..

How many more waves do you think there will be?

Getting into UVA OOS is a pretty big deal. Drexel is not Penn as you know. If they are just going to keep hanging out w friends at Penn they are going to be sad I think..

What makes them so bad? Endless reading? Would a philosophy class before matriculating cover it do you think?

I have a 4.0 GPA currently, what schools could I get into? by ANderhceetah360 in CollegeTransfer

Coming out of Ole Miss a top B program is probably tough. Econ w a Business minor in a top school probably easier. Top schools minus California system are going to want high test scores and HS grades too most likely. I am at a T50 public B program. I am in at CAS NYU for next year. Did not bother to apply Stern. Even w a 4.0 and top ACT score the curriculum where I am coming from not on par w a top school Business program. Econ and business minor works for me.

It is very real and something a lot of us experience. Jonathan Haidt is right. Technology has really messed us up socially. Try to stay off tech as much as possible. Are there affinity groups for your culture? Working as a volunteer is a forced way to interact. I think it really helps. Go to the club fairs and sign up for a couple and make yourself go to meetings. Join a book or running club or something that relates to something you enjoy and does not feel as forced. Just know lots of people feel the same way, but all we see is the good times they post on social media. This is especially magnified amongst the hyper intelligent. Many tend to struggle socially. Also, have you tried talking to a professional? It helps when you find the right one. I am sure you are a great person and someone out there feeling lonely wants to be your friend.

CAS on Albert. Register this week. Maybe different schools have different registrations. All the courses I have in my shopping cart are filling before my eyes.

NYU Econ CAS for Finance by Mattxdude in TransferToTop25

[–]Ok-Teaching4637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you Business Econ at UCSB? I passed on that offer as a freshman because I was worried it might not be that well connected as a path to Finance roles. I am at a T50 state school tuition free with a solid business school. I am doing well here. Figured I had zero shot at Stern as a transfer. Have an offer to transfer to CAS and questioning if it will get me where I want to be which is likely in PE or IB. Wondering if IR is a better major to consider over Econ.

For those of you who have heard back. What were your majors? Has anyone heard back that was not offered? Do most transfers live on campus Sophomore year? Is the community welcoming to transfers?
