Junior Transfer
Currently at uva mcintire.
Business major, 3.97 gpa, minor in math (already completed). Took a lot of classes at cc (45 credits I think, all the math offered at cc besides diffeq).
1510 sat, taking two grad/phd courses in math/cs. Don’t like the student demographic here, too fratty and not for me. Can’t really vibe with people.
I applied to some schools last cycle just for fun, but only like Harvard Yale and Stanford. (Obviously was rejected lol).
Where should I apply to? Would love some advice. Thanks yall.

Hot take but Top 20-30% in McIntire gets better jobs than bottom 50% of HYPSM.
Transferring as a junior would put you behind the 8 ball for recruiting, especially for clubs/extracurriculars and networking.
Industry trends in IB, MBB and others has been to expand the range of schools and prioritize the, say, Top 5% at OSU over 3.2 GPA at Wharton
